Hey all, so i helped my buddy build a bike and it got me intrigued to build my own. i have been browsing through the forums to try and help answer my questions. i have been looking and researching different motor kits and was considering this one:
80cc Raw Motor Bicycle Engine Kit EPA Certified - 80cc Raw Motor Motorized Bicycle Engine Kits EPA Certified
i was wondering if anbody had any suggestions for me? im also looking into some upgrades to the motor to help it perform better. (the area i live in is very hilly and my buddy's bike goes pretty slow up some of them) so if anybody could maybe suggest some parts that would work on that specific engine plz let me kno cause i plan on buying it all at once and start putting it together. thanks.

You aren't that far from Pirate cycles and they have some big supporters here, see what they offer. One of the guys has a PK80 from them and is involved with them doing high performance stage development. Pirate's ad is on the lower right of the screen.

The PK's are good engines, but so are the Raw's.
Just so you know where I'm coming from; I sell Raw engine kits... I could buy any engines that I want for my company, but I like the Raw engines! (good quality, lot's of power!) ;)
