Hello. New here and wanted to introduce myself.

A co-worker just installed a kit in his bike and now it is my turn. Will be building up a GT4 for me and my dad alongside another co-working who is building one. Kits should be here next week. Main goal is to ride the bike a few days a week to work. 8 miles one way. Looking for reliability and efficiency more then horsepower. I build myself a friction drive Ryobi powered scooter ~15 years ago to commute to school and a 2 speed transmission for a second Ryobi scooter for my Senior project at school. They were fun.

I will probably ask more of this group then i can give but so far i think this site is great and look forward to the build.

My other hobbies are working on movie props, cars and machines. I recently finished a full scale RC replica of R2D2, have restored 5 vintage VW's and just built a DRO for my mill. Love to tinker so this will be fun....
