I recently decided I want to get a kit and build my first motorized bike. I have ridden mountain bikes my whole life, but I saw a lot if cool crusers that people put engines in, and the look is killer. I think I know the kit I want to use (a GRUBEE 2011 SkyHawk GT5 66cc/80cc Angle Fire Slant Head Bike Motor Kit) but I have no idea what to do for a bike. I have been looking at cheap 26" crusers from retail stores, but I really don't know what to look for. Should I look for one with a spring tree or will a rigid frame be fine? And also, can I just buy retro fit brakes and attach them?
Thanks for any input,
