Hi I'm in the process of motorizing a Pacific Coast Chopper bike (aka Schwinn with the fat rear tire, except red) with the "ebay chinese special 2 stroke". These chopper bikes are selling for $50-100 as the local kids outgrow them. Typical consumer society, aren't we? I love the look of those bikes.
I already built a 9" seat extension and 8" handlebar extension so I can reasonably pedal the thing (I'm 6'2") and now going thru the motions to add the motor. I have an oilfield fabrication business and lots of tools, welder, plasma cutter, drill press, small brake... dream shop...
It's -20 here in Canada right now so I have some time to get it going.
I am impressed by some of the builds and advice available on this site..!!
