My bike has always swayed back and forth side to side while pedaling when I have the heavy battery pack on the back of the bike. Today I happened to look down and I noticed it was moving side to side from one spot. This spot is where I had a custom bracket for my gas engine. The crack has started from that spot and made it's way around the entire tube. I even noticed one forming on the bottom tube as well. This has me concerned.
I really like the bike frame I have it would be a bit of a pain to transfer my Electric Kit on to a different frame. Can this be welded or any sort of macgyver trick I can do to strengthen the frame again ?
