Hi, my name is David and I'm considering getting a motorized bicycle. I go to college and I figure a motorized bike would be perfect for getting around. I do not have a car and I already ride a bike everywhere. I've already read pretty much everything on the web/forums about these bike and I'm really looking forward to putting one together when I get the money. I was considering getting the Grubee Skyhawk kit (is it a decent kit?) because it is one of the cheaper kits I have found. Maybe I would upgrade later on. I do have a couple of questions if anyone would be kind enough to answer.
1) I would like to ride the bike year round and it gets pretty cold here in the winter (usually under 20 degrees Fahrenheit) I was wondering how well these engines start and run in colder temps.
2) Is chain driven or friction driven better or is it just a matter of personal opinion?
3) Is there that big of a difference between the 48cc and the 66cc motors like speed or gas mileage? The price difference is not that great but if there is very little difference I would like to save my money.
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated on these questions. I look forward to joining your biking community.
