Looks a bit like my Mamba. I like what you did with the chain tension and kickstand combination. I might give that a try.

Nice

if you look closer the original kick stand that came with the bike snapped off when i tried to bend it, because it wouldn't hold up the bike properly, resulting in me dropping a couple times when working on it. i was gonna buy a new center kick stand, but the bolt is rusted on and wont budge!

Yeah, I can see it in the first pic. Well I don't have to worry about the kickstand anymore. I traded my bike for a broken Jaguar with and an 80cc.

Any issues with the the kickstand being that far back?

You've built a nice looking bike. Simple and clean and the install looks sound.
Here's a link to a center stand that I've had very good luck with. Electric Bike Accessory - Heavy duty kickstand A bit pricy but holds the weight of a Motorized Bicycle just fine. Have you tried some heat on that rusted bolt? It looks like an aluminum mount? The steel bolt might loosen if you apply a little heat to the mount. Ride careful, have fun.

Have fun till it starts getting slower then normal like mine did

[Mike Hunt]

how long did you ride before it started getting slower?

will the carb that comes with the 50cc work with the 66cc engine? im thinking ill buy just the engine and keep everything else.

Nice work there Mike. Nothing personal Mike but I see a lot of people putting the chain adjuster
on the motored chain side. With more than a few stories about the stock adjuster rotating into the spokes at speed and ruining a perfectly nice day why everyone continues this practice ? I cut the chain to a length that allows me to tighten the motor side with the axle and run the slack adjuster if still needed on the pedal side.
