Picking up chicks.
I'm gonna hang with you and learn from the master ;-)

I'm using it for commuting and getting back in shape.

I used to ride my bike to work (10 miles one way) and it's about 95% all uphill (some sections very steep, and others fairly flat but still uphill) and it would take me around an hour at first and when I got in some kinda shape about 45-50 min. After cleaning up I'd still be sweatin a few hrs later and decided I didn't feel like doing that everyday so when I saw these little motor kits I figured what the heck, I can use it most of the time on the way to work and peddle home to start burnin off my double belted Michelin! ;-) For me it's a win-win with a 1/2 hr commute to and from work and not being a mess when I get to work!

Thanks for sharing and a lot of great answers. Keep'em coming.

Everything, except hauling some larger things. I can beat the fastest motorcycle thru the city to the beach in rush hour!

I have a Goldwing and Silverwing but alway wanted a motorbike since I was a kid and a neighbor had a Whizzer, quite a bit more than half a century ago. When I saw these engine kits online I knew I had to have one, a new Whizzer was more than I wanted to spend. I've only ridden this one about 30 miles, just about all of it around the neighborhood but it's a kick. It amuses the neighbors too. Today I came home on my Goldwing from visiting a friend in the next town and took the MB out for a ride just for the fun of it. It can't get much better than that on two wheels.

I think other than just plain fun, the best use of my bike so far has been for meeting new people. I can't ride anywhere without someone coming over to talk to me.

For me it is cheap amusement. I am planning on building another one with an EZM Q-Matic for transportation though. I really like the idea of 4-stroke engines. Much quieter and more torque. I allready have 2 bikes with 2-stroke engines.
