My First Motorized Bicycle.

[grandpa2390]

I'm getting ready to build my first motorized bicycle. I have already bought the bike. I plan on using what seems to be classic at this time. The Kulana moon dog. Though I'm not to crazy with the paint job and those sparkles all over it, I've seen many good reviews. and I will use the king's 80cc motor. though I believe after reading many articles and threads on this forum that it is most probably around 60cc. But it will work for me.

Oh and if anyone has used this particular model of bike, doesn't matter which color, could you post your image so i can see what the finished product might look like. (If I don't screw up. lol).

The 80cc are 67.5cc. For the pic look in the pic & video section

I wanted do one with the della cruz. But i couldn't find a site that accepted paypal. So I went with the moon dog.

I could not tell you where to get one either. I bought my motor first and was looking for a good mountain bike to put it on. I just happen to go to a yard sale and found my Della Cruz brand new still in the box for $15.00

I am so glad I went with the cruiser.

Ok everything is ordered and payed for. I'm going to use a mechanical speedometer. Pyramid Speedometer will do. It measures speed and has an odometer. I don't have to worry about batteries or figuring out how to use it, or sun glare with mechanical.

I'm going to search this forum for tips on painting, But I think i'm going to go with a twilight color.

And when i add my motor roughly like this. though it will look better in real life (obviously).
