I am glad I found this forum.

I have a question, and I apologize if this has been answered...

I have a OCC Stingray. I am going to purchase a motor kit, and I am going to order the sprocket and hub adapter from Maniac.

I am 5'11" and about 250 lbs. I don't need really fast top speed..but I don't want it to goto slow either. I don't want a problem with it "getting up and going" either. I plan on using it quite a bit on my travels. I travel doing public housing inspections all over the east, and will take it with me on trips on a hitch hauler behind my focus.

Thanks for the tips, and please, volunteer any information, suggestions, etc..

BTW, get this!!! I picked up my OCC at a local thrift store for 32 bux!!! in excellent condition. I am STOKED!!!.. I have another chopper style bike although a little smaller, that I will motor for my son, after I get this one off the ground.. Not sure of that brand, but I think that it is a Chopper bike from china and it is pretty cool.. same thrift store, couple months ago, for only 24.99!!! I will keep checking them...

You might wanna just stick with the stock sprocket which is a 44t. if your looking for more low end power/torque get a higher tooth sprocket or if you want more high end power get a lower tooth sprocket, the lower the teeth the more torque and get up n go power you will loose.

PirateCycles carries Jims(manicmechanic) sprocket adapter.

Good luck and post some pics of your build
 
considering the extra torque you get with the smaller back wheel,,,
the 44 will pull you hard :)
 
Considering that the stingray has 20" wheels, you could probably use a 36T or 38T sprocket & it will have the same speed & torque as a 44T on a 26" bike.

I'm 200+lbs & I use 40T.
