I am not a fan of motorizing Huffy bikes for the very reason I have this one but it is a nice steel frame with rack in near new shape.
I took this motorized bicycle in for repair as it toasted the stock coaster brake hub before it was even broken in as Huffy's typically do, and as I looked the rest of the bike over the motor wasn't mounted properly, the controls were a mess as was the electrical and tensioner.
I suggested the customer just buy a new motorized bicycle from me.
he wanted to know what I'd give him for it and since I couldn't even start it and don't take old stuff I didn't build in anyway I told him no but he was insistent so I gave him $100 off a new build for the Huffy.
The rim and spokes were good so I bought a heavy duty coaster brake hub with threads for both sprockets and the band brake.
Had the hub installed and put in a HD tube and liner on the back.
I Remounted the engine, upgraded the electrical, put a front brake and dual pull lever on it, a new 7-speed rotary shifter on the left, foam grips, and redid all the cables.
It came out nice but it took longer to do than building a new bike from new parts.
