This started by a week of running perfectly smooth. I checked the bolts put thread locker on them and made sure everything stayed tight.
The problem started when I was making my trek home from school. I felt a slight wobble while doing around 20mph and the next thing I know the engine felt like it locked up, a huge pain in my leg, and the rear tire screeching to a halt.
After pulling over I looked at the back of the tire. The tensioned had gone in between the spokes and the chain had snapped.
I strapped the chain around the handle bars tucked my tail between my legs and pedaled home... I have taken apart my motor and found out the motor mount broke. The one broke during the accident and the other when I tried to remove it.
To repair the rear mount I drilled and tapped the one to accept a larger bolt. Then I replaced all the others with grade 8 bolts.
I took the burs out of the tensioner and tried to see if I could at least get the thing to slide right but it won't slide right. So, I then decided to try the sprocket took it off and it seemed straight I took it off and checked it put it back on and it seems to twist on the top between the engine and the sprocket and throwing the tensioner into the wheel.
I bought a new tensioner, and upgraded 32 tooth sprocket. I am decided whether I should buy a new rim along with a new chain.
I have 50 miles on the bike if you can please let me know if anyone else has experienced this.
