What broke was the axle inside the rear Hub so I have to get a new three speed hub I'm starting to give up on the internal geared hubs on motorized bikes my basement looks like a graveyard for them.
212cc is not a motorized bicycle, it's like trying to replace a 2.1L Yugo engine with a 550 horse turbo charged 5.5L V-8 and expecting the cars drive train to take it.What broke was the axle inside the rear Hub so I have to get a new three speed hub I'm starting to give up on the internal geared hubs on motorized bikes my basement looks like a graveyard for them.
If by 'tame motors' you are talking ~3.5hp like a souped up 66c two-stroke that sounds likely, never build a shifter over that without a internal engine tyranny, but all the internal shifter I have made have held up.If you use them as a jackshaft they do well since it spreads the load across so many more teeth.
But when they are used in the wheel they will only stay together with very weak motors and I imagine extremely tame riding.
Not necessarily. BMX parts are strong as well.. and moped parts. Not motorcycle parts.212cc is not a motorized bicycle......
If you want a big engine in a bike get a motorcycle frame, with pedals...
The $2000 MotoPed bike will take anything you throw at it.
Again if you want more power, look at motorcycle parts.
This looks like the fork you used:To be honest with you I can't remember i work on all the cars for the local car museum and when I was dropping off a car to them on day they had two sets of them and asked if I wanted them since they knew I built bikes. I pulled all the stickers off so long ago but I remember they were marzoochi knocks offs I believe it was something like zooks. They are awesome and provide a great ride especially for free.
Yeah you get what you pay for. Did it have any damping inside?This looks like the fork you used:

It is what it is and you get what you pay for, That being said I have used one before, like the looks, was able to lower it and it did well on the bike I built. I will post a picture when I find it.
