Hey folks! Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself.
Name is Mike. I just moved to Japan a couple months ago for the second time. I'm in the Navy stationed in Atsugi. Basically I joined up to first of all get some info, support and advice and options on my first MB purchase before I actually make a purchase. I have been looking at these for about a year now but am afraid to just jump the gun and end up with something crappy.
I am geared toward a 4 stroke just for the fact that they can be run longer and no mixing. also want a bigger engine like an 80cc. I am hesitant to buy a DIY motor kit for my 61 Schwinn Corvette because I am not wanting to weld or chop anything and also fitment issues, although I think it would be nice with the 3 speed Stumey Archer hub (again, not sure an if this is even possible).
Two of the all inclusive kits I have been looking at were the Spooky Tooth Stealth at 685.00 and the Helio beach cruiser at about 599.00.
Any thoughts?? Again, I am not opposed to building up my vette, but it is a classic and I'd rather not do anything damaging to it.
Thanks and looking forward to the comments.
