I am a newbie who just got done putting my first bike together. It took me one week! Well, mainly because of the frustration because NOTHING FITS! But anyway, I was going uphill and I didn't go full throttle since I am still in the break-in period. The result....The bike stalls! Was this...

Im putting a jackshaft on my new project, its a huffy sante fe cruiser. i wanted to put rear disk brakes on it because im going to be going a lot faster with my jackshaft kit. I bought this disc brake kit from a guy out of Cincinnatti, he said the disk would bolt to the sprocket somehow. The...

So this is my first beach cruiser build, and ive already had so many problems, the brake arm was a pain, i had to grind it thinner for it to fit, the chain rubs the tire, and the motor wont mount because of the position of the fixed gear. Not really sure what to do about the motor not mounting...

I finished installing my 80cc chinese engine on the ol nirve switchblade last night but not without a handful of headaches. The standard "fat ass" tire (24x3.0) was a big issue due to chain clearance so I had to downgrade to a 24x2.125 white wall but not having to worry about the chain nearly...

Hello all. I'm new to the world of motorized bikes. I just want to share a little about how I got started. I lost my driver's license due to lack of insurance, so I was in need of transportation. A regular bicycle just wouldn't do, and I couldn't afford a moped. I had about $60 to spend on a...

I'm in the DC metro area and it seems impossible to get my hands on a felt cruiser for less than MSRP. Ordering from distant bike stores is not an option because felt restricts sales locally. Has anybody had any luck with accomplishing this?

Hello everyone! I'm new to the site and getting ready for my first built. Bikebuyers.com has some great looking bikes and I was thinking of ordering my bike from there. My only concern is that the company has some bad reviews on yelp.com and on ripoffreport.com about the quality of the...
