Napa, CA, Wine Country "80cc"

[SgtNorthcutt]

Yeah, I know they're not really 80cc.

I got my kit last week from Powerking, and mounted it on a Giant mountain bike....and so far, I love it. Some of the nuts/parts are pretty lightweight, and one was not threaded, but overall easy to install. Took 3 hours. Kit should come with zip ties!

I just got back from a 70 mile test ride through the hills of Wine Country. Grades were steep between Pope Valley and Angwin, so I had to peddle a couple of times, but not so hard as to break a sweat.

I love my motorized bicycle and ride it every day. My friends all love it so much I am building 5 more this week.

Hey Sarg, Glad you joined us

 

[SgtNorthcutt]

Glad to be here. Trying to learn as much as I can here. I have 5 bikes to build this week. People keeps asking me to "build then one too!" I'll bet you I build 20 bikes in September.
2 people flagged me down today and ordered one right on the spot. We'll see what happens.
I just got a Schwinn Point Beach today for a friend and I'm building that one tomorrow. Mounting it should be interesting.

Very nice bike! Sounds like your into bike building full time. What a lucky guy!!!! Keep up the great work and keep the pic's coming. I love seeing all the different styles. Later.

That rocks Sarg.! If I was not looking at mine I would be gettin nervous!
There almost identical. And I have GOOD Taste. At least the neighbors dog thinks so. Wonder if he's still seeing them wierd colors?

 

[SgtNorthcutt]

You know, originally I was going to build a beach cruiser, but I'm glad I built the Giant. A mountain bike is really cut out for the abuse.
I am building a cruiser or two this week, but I don't think I would dare take them the places my Giant will go!
