As the title says, I am looking for a way to save some money up at college this year and think this will be a definite help. Last month I spent over $390 on gas alone for work, the girlfriend and other travels. Granted I don't drive that much at college but the 1-5 mile commutes I do each day are wearing my car down.
For the kit I think I'm going with Bike Berry, I am not looking to spend a fortune on this, so one of the kits for $179 should be sufficient (Mega Motors or Flying Horse, whats different?). I am also looking at Angled head spark plug, I guess that creates a bit more power.
Also I am a tad worried as from what I understand in Pa I can have a motor less than 49cc's, no more than 1.5 HP and it only counts as a "Bicycle with assistance" and doesn't need registration / inspection. But I am after the 66cc model, could this cause a huge issue? I think as long as I have a headlight/tail light and act civil while driving it I shouldn't cause an issue.
I currently am looking to get a bicycle for this since the one I have I'd rather not modify, I saw Target and Walmart both have bikes that would do just fine. I've seen both in videos on Youtube with 66cc engines and they seem to fit just fine, the Walmart one at least has front shocks.

Now I should also mention I am in school for Manufacturing Engineering and have full use of Mills, Lathes, CNC Mills/Lathes, Wire EDM, etc. So building pieces for a better fit won't be an issue.
Can someone give me some pointers on this, looking to order Monday!
