I have a 26" Huffy Beach Cruiser that I used to ride on the Strand in Southern California; I now life in Scottsdale, AZ and have decided that I'd like to motorize my Cruiser.
I am looking for some advice on what motor to use and where to get it. I am looking for something on the low end price-wise but I would like something fun and reliable.
I suppose I should have first asked if my Huffy is suitable for use with a motor kit. It seems a little "light-weight" to me but I am comparing it to bicycles I had as a kid; as the say; "they don't make 'em like they used to" but I want to make sure the frame is strong enough to be used as a motorized bike. BTW, It has no fenders (I have read that they can be a problem).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
