Was wondering if anyone has done a build with this bike? I'm going to target tomorrow to measure the tube diameter an how big the hole is in the bike. Gosh I hope I can get an inline motor in it instead of a slant. I think it will look sweet cruising to work an around town plusssss already has a cup holder!! Thanks for any info. I did search an only got results for rip curl bike an have no clue if they have different frame styles as their were no pictures in post.

That looks like a good choice for a 2 stroke or 4 stroke China motor in the frame.
It will not be as sturdy as a pre-2000 beach cruiser, but those are getting harder to find.
The cup holder does come in handy. I had to keep a water bottle with me during summer commutes in Arizona.

Scroll the magnifier on their pic over the frame welds and gussets, it's just typical $100 big box garbage with a new 'junk bike' name to avoid.

I advise you to save up ~$200+ for a decent bike first.

The bottom line is not much on a $100 bike is not going to break with an engine and if you are lucky only end up paying more than double for a turd and not paying medical bills too.

I see a turd.
You can replace all the cheap stuff on it and it'll still be turd, just a more expensive turd.

That's my take anyway.

Ya, I'm KC ;-}
Yes I can ship complete intact MB's but it's not cheap, $650+ from Phoenix to Florida.

I don't sell bicycles if that's what you meant.

I make bike suggestions based on a series of questions.
I'll be happy to help you, just use my Contact form on my web site and answer the questions.
