Just starting up in South Ms

[Lupyne]

Whats up everyone? I just got into this about a week ago, I'm waiting for this pay check to come in so I can get my motor, 66cc (just something basic to get started with) and I've got a Kulana Moon Dog cruiser that I plan on mounting the engine on, cause I wont dare use my Trek...yet.
So... yea that's about it, no amazing stories of saving babies from a burning aircraft carrier. sadly... I'm not that beast.

Welcome to the forum. What engine are you going to be using?

 

[Lupyne]

Eh just something basic with a bit of kick to it. I'm thinking of going with this one here http://www.bikeberry.com/images/silverflyhorseslantblackmuffler.jpg
figure it isn't too bad, besides I'm just starting out lol. So I can always do a better build after I know more of what I'm doing ya know

Hi, im chr123
Im new to motorized bikes. And I have a few questions to start of with.
if I purchase a engine that is a 50 cc will I go 40 miles per hour?
is it possible to ride 10 miles without problems?
do you know of any website with cheap motors that are good high speed(30 to 50)?
thank you for your advice.

Depends on the engine. Dax sells a 48cc 2 stroke that will probably get you 40 but most chinese engines wont.

Quote"is it possible to ride 10 miles without problems?"

Again depends on your bike and engine. You can spend the money and build a mb that will most likely carry you thousands of miles without too many problems or you can go the cheapest rout and take your chances.

To paraphrase an old hot rodders saying, dependability and speed cost money, how fast and dependable do you want to go?
