Hello from Ga.

Hi, I'm a newbe here. Looks like a cool site. I just finished my mountain bike with a motor. It took me a couple of days to complete.( I took my time about it)
I'll post a pic of it later today. Also I'm going to build another one. I am wondering what is the best kit to buy and where to buy it from. The kit i just finished says power something on the instruction manual. I bought it off craigslist. So I'm not sure how good it is. But i like it. Thanks in advance for any input here.

Hey, thanks for the advice...I was definately talking about along the lines of the $600 kit. I see them here and there online but not sure about the name brands...I'd hate to get an expensive kit that's a cheapo. I have a cheap kit on my bike now. But i'd like to build another bike but a quality one. Thanks for replying.

That's what i was looking for. Sounds like a good place to start. Thanks for the advise.

Welcome Derno,
Well you must have a better kit than mine because I didn't get an instruction manual... lol

Welcome Denro. We're glad you've joined our ranks. You'll get lots of opinions on 'the best kit'. People usually suggest whatever they have had good luck with. Persoanlly I feel that the $600. price tag is on the high side. I've never spent that on any kit and I have thousands of miles on the ones I've bought for less that $200. Do some research and look at the many alternatives to choose from and consider what you're looking for in a motorized bicycle. Novelty, occasional fun ride, daily transportation? It all depends on your expectations as to how much to invest in the project.

What part of the 'Peach State' are you in? I spent some time in Valdosta back in the 60s. Beautiful country, for sure.
