New Belgium Fat Tire Cruiser

I plan to motorize this bike. I think it will be pretty cool when completed. The motor is on order. I'll keep you posted with pics.

Thanks for link

If the hub kit did not come with the sprocket, its probably because they assume you might have a sprocket or want to choose a sprocket.
It would be economical to package them together though.

Here's the link for the pedal side rear sprocket.

It did not come with the kit which I thought was kind of weird. I had to pay $10.99 plus shipping.

Nice looking bike should make an interesting project for you.

I just rode mine for the first time. You guys are right, I'm hooked for life. This was just fun!

Great looking bike. How long did it take you to build?

Thanks. I probably have 15 or 20 hours into it.

That is really clean looking. The only thing that would be better is a fuel tank&rear rack combo, so you could use the lunch box for storage or lunch!

I took it out on a 15 mile ride last Sunday. It performed beautifully and was a kick to ride. I can see how having a front brake would definitely be an asset as opposed to just relying on a coaster brake set-up. I'll have to think on that for a while. I don't push it in the speed department, so stopping hasn't been too much of a concern.

nice

nice bike and you should check out my pics of the bikes i have done for me and a few friends.. mine is not neat and clean but i did it cheaply and as long as it rides and is kinda quiet now .. well it does what it is supposed to without all the extra attention..

You've done some creative things disguising your engine. Have you ever been pulled over? How busy are the areas that you're riding in? Is it your primary mode of transportation?
