Hey everyone. I've been lurking around the forum for a couple of weeks. I've been looking into motorized bicycles for a few months now. A while back my neighbor was having a garage sale and had a Micargi Dolphin cruiser for sale. I didn't need another bike as I already had a BMX as my main commuter, but I thought, the cruiser would be cool with a motor. And my neighbor only wanted $45 for the bike so I figured why not.
I'm in the process of saving up for the build and trying to figure out what I need for it and how everything will work and how to get it to work. I have a friend that is going to do all the fab work for me and I'll do the design work.
I noticed I have a few neighbors on here (Venice Motorbikes and Culver City Classic). I'm pretty sure I've seen some of you guys riding around, down Venice in Mar Vista possibly.
Anyway, before I keep rambling and whatnot, here's a rough idea of what I have in mind for the bike.

Nice drawing BUT... these little motors drive off the left side of the motor and you need a jack shaft setup to move the power to the front sprocket. Sick Bike Parts has a shifter kit that does just that. Look at their expansion chamber, too. I'd rank it as the single most important component you can add, makes any other mods more worthwhile.
