hey all, thought i'd introduce myself since i'm planing on doing a bike kit build.

so far i've decided on getting a Grubee skyhawk GT5 motor kit

mostly i decided to do the conversion to save some money on gas. since my car really doesn't get very good fuel economy (24mpg.... when i'm not mashing the throttle) and also since it just seams way cool to have a 2 stroke motor on a bicycle.

i had an electric kit a few years back that was insanely fun, but just lacked the distance i wanted. it was alot of fun until the rear tire i had on it popped off (solid rubber tire + AZ summer sun = very quick lesson on how much rubber expands) and caused me to total the bike while i was taking a turn :(



i'm planning on installing the kit on my schwinn chopper bike (the occ one) once i buy it, (and the mount for it too)

welcome from FH :)
thanks! i'll get a picture up of the bike the motor will be going on soon (just need to clear some space out of the garage to get to it :p )

i have to say, the more i think about it, the more i like the idea of using that large rear tire the chopper has for the motor XD
