Just picked up a Schwinn Clairmont from Walmart, and it's painfully obvious she needs an engine!
VA state law requires it to be under 50cc. I was just about to pull the trigger on a 49cc from BoyGoFast on eBay when I figured I should be damned sure about what to get...
BikeBerry doesn't seem to have any 49's in stock, and from browsing the forum I got the sense I should avoid Kings.
Trying to keep my costs under $175, including shipping.
Any suggestions?
And while I'm here, for anyone who's modded a Clairmont, how did you move the shifting mechanism on the handlebar to make room for the throttle?
Thanks, all. Love the forum. Can't WAIT to get this project rolling. I'm eager to make this my regular commuter.
