Name's Jim. I'm 27 years old and live/work in Universal City which is a town on the northeastern edge of San Antonio TX. I just finished mounting a Motorized Bike Engine on a 28 inch cruiser frame I bought from Target for a hundred bucks. I got the engine online for $180. So far so good, runs at about 120 MPG using a 1/2 gallon tank and tops out at around 32-33 mph. I use it as my main form of transportation right now as my car recently became incapacitated. The only problem I've run into is that San Antonio's city bus line won't let me put it on the bike racks they have mounted on the front of the buses. Oh well, I usually get to my destinations faster on the bike! Another minor problem is frequent flat tires but that abated when I stopped taking it off-road. At first, I thought that I might get allot of jeers and/or ridicule but so far all I've got are people interested in how they can get one. I've thought about starting a little in-house business of putting together these bikes and selling them for profit but that's way down the line. Right now I like to think I'm in the "Research & Development" stage. I welcome any suggestions on how to make the bike as reliable as possible and I would also like to hear about any stories or experiences from people who use their bikes as their primary form of transportation. Hope to learn a lot!
