Thank you for the kind words. Yep she’s real easy to ride. And way too fast... tops out 85mph with one hand on bars for aero. Also super fun at 10mph cause it’s so quiet. In fact I rarely go above 70-75 anymore. After hitting a young buck last winter my need for speed has been diminished somewhat.
Here’s my first ever motorized bicycle, after scrapping my first build many years ago. I went cheap and stil couldn’t be happier, commuting to work has never been so much fun
This is my first engine kit install. I say first because I definitely want to do more builds.ive had a frustratingly great time learning what I'm doing. Once I stopped stressing on the rear wheel and realized that a straight edge was my best friend for aligning the sprockets I have really started to enjoy the troubleshooting. I've learned a lot this past week and my bike is running great at the moment. I'm now looking at a BBR racing engine to put on the beach cruiser that I started with this engine. I swapped it to my Raleigh after the chain tensioner ate a couple spokes.
