Hey guys,
This is my second post. My introduction is over here: http://www.motoredbikes.com/showthread.php?t=25963. I have really been intrigued with the whole idea of the a motorized bicycle so I was going to run this past some of you more experienced riders for some feedback.
I think that I want to go with a classic beach cruiser because they look good, seem to be well made, and are pretty affordable. I think that I have narrowed my search down to either the Schwinn Point Beach or the Schwinn Landmark. I would prefer the Point Beach because of the pannier rack but I have heard bad things about the aluminum frame. The Landmark is supposed to be steel. Does anyone have any recommendations on this?
As far as my motor, I have come down to the Dax F80 70cc or the Grubee Skyhawk 66/80cc. Recommendations? Which, is the best value for the money? Best customer service, etc . . . ? Also, I live at about 6,000 feet so will that affect my engine performance greatly? Is there going to be a great deal of fine tuning for that altitude?
Again, I am a total noob so any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated. I am basically trying to keep my build in the 300$ range being as I am going back to college this fall.
