hi! im new here :P
im srsly thinking about getting a motorized bike in the next few months..
i was wondering how easy it is to put together. i was thinking about the cheapest 49cc kit from gassbikesdotnet to a schwinn cruiser. i have all of the tools i need i think but i know nothing about mechanics or anything. is there alot of tinkering to get these things to work right or can i justfollow some instructions manual? i would rather put the motor on myself because of the cost, but im not really interested in motors or machines at all :P
thnx in advance d00ds

It's not that hard the instructions don't really tell you alot..infact they are pretty useless if you ask me.It took me about 4 hours to put mine together the first time and that was on a bike most people said was a "very hard build" it's the simplest motors in the world..1 piston.. if you have trouble you found the forum so there you go now on the other hand if you don't wanna learn anything maybe you should just pay the extra 150-200 bucks and buy one from someone pre-built.But then like everything else it's gonna break...And thats gonna cost more to fix.So you should spend an hour looking online and learning about 2 stroke engines then wham-bam you rock!

They really aren't that hard to put on. Everything you need to know is on this forum, and there are a lot of folks willing to help.

If you have any questions about your upcoming build, this is the place to be. The most helpful group of guys you can meet. Be sure to use the search feature, as have have been one to ask questions that have already been answered before. Good luck!

The comments I have seen on the forums is the china kits require looking after them AFTER you put them on.
