!HOW! Crazy Horse want to share an experience I hope no one here especially any new motor bicyclist makes this mistake.
I saw an ad in the Wash, D.C. crug'slist that said motorized bicycles $450.00 so I contacted the guy turns out he's close by where I live. I went to look at his bikes he had 4 huffy beach cruisers a purple one , blue one , yellow one , & one black bike for sell.
I said very nice bikes and no lie the were good looking bikes, after complimenting him he asked me if I would like to ride one I said let me look at them a little more closely.
While inspecting his builds I found some defects, one was the rear axel was loose suggested to him maybe you might want to tighten up the inner bolts on the axel he said wow thanks I'll do that.
I then continued inspecting them and yes you might guess what found next that could cause death or serious injury he used the original wheels that came with the bikes. These wheels are not strong enough for motorizing!
I said I think you might want to change these wheels to heavy duty one's he said why, I then pointed out the 4 broken spokes on the bike I was about to ride. OUCH!
So I then, this guy's getting a lil perturbed at me for inspecting his bikes but hey its my life, he said you see any other problems with my bikes I said yes not to offend you but your motor mount studs are about to snap & your idler / chain tensioner is a little to loose.
I told him I could help him if he likes he asked me to leave.
Why he reacted this way was no surprise to me, I was very polite and complimented him on his builds before I ever pointed out his potential accidents waiting to happen.
I even offered to help him if he wanted to make those bikes a little bit safer but he said he knew what he was doing and didn't need any suggestions or help with his bikes.
I still offered my help to him and gave him my number, who knows maybe when he cools down a lil bit he might call me for some guidance.
If someone wants to build a motorized bike thats awesome but for your own sake do some research on how to build a motorized bicycle don't just go and buy something and think you are safe to ride off into the sunset with a lil research it could help you save your life not to mention the fact that you'd be in a better position to enjoy your new found hobby if you will.
So people what ever you do make sure you inspect your bikes before you ride them cause it could be the last time you do!!!
Peace Crazy Horse has spoken the truth!!!
