I just recently purchased my first motorized bike due to needing something to get around on after my car broke down. I'm not the most mechanically inclined person but I'm also not completely an idiot when it comes to working on things. I am realizing now I should have done some research before I bought one but I was just in a hurry because I was hopeful I could use it to continue to do food delivery or at least absolve me the horror of having to ride public transportation to a new job.
The first picture is right after I bought it. I only paid $300 for it so I did get a decent price it appears.
The second picture is today. I have some questions but I'll post them in the appropriate forum but I noticed that you like to have new members do a hello post first.
I've already read through quite a few posts and realized that it would probably be a good idea to get some input and help from people who obviously are way more knowledgeable and experience at this than I am. I put myself in a tough spot financially by buying this thinking I was going to be able to then use it to do food delivery and unfortunately I've instead put almost as much money into it as I bought it for.
I'll be going to work soon and I work 12 hour shifts so it won't be able to reply until tomorrow. I do have one question should I post my backstory that got me to this point here? Or should I just post that when I post in the correct forum because I have Coaster brake issues and have purchased a tensioner that's not garbage and I'm going to be putting that on.
Thanks in advance.

So you're carrying additional weight and only have a coaster brake? Don't sacrifice safety for expense. I refuse to use a coaster brake on any build.
