Hi, newbie here.
I have a Schwinn beach cruiser that I'd like to motorize. Never done that, but it sounds like fun.
My question is: What is a good, solid engine that will run until the end of time and not break down when I'm 24 miles out in the boonies? I keep seeing ads for Chinese-made engines, and also see comments like: "A China Doll will break your heart!"
What I'd like is reliability--I live ten miles from a town of 800, and I'd like to ride it into town when the weather's good. And get back home without hitching a ride!
Thanks,
Rust Merchant
