Got to wondering what the good doctor would have thought if he knew I purchased a bicycle for exercise and then put a motor on it? :-D
Hehe, that made me smile ;-}
80 cc? 66 cc? she pulls me plenty fast and even more when I put on the shifter kit...imho getting home is where its at...
There is no such thing as an actual 80cc.
cc = bore*stroke, the 80cc is Chinese fuzzy math trying to count the head cavity or entire cylinder length as part of displacement to make the engines sound bigger.
"even more when I put on the shifter kit"
Can you elaborate?
There are downsides to a jackshaft shift kit on a 2-stroke if you have any leg issues including feet.
Next thing I gotta do is read the directions & learn to post a picture of my build in the appropriate forum.
Taking and posting good pics is an art form in itself.
One tip is find a consistent neutral background, my finished bike 'photo wall' is just outside my shop door.
It has been used for last 80 or so builds and I find myself noticing the subtle changes in it over the years, but still consistent.
Posting them requires you upload them and you can upload them here, but it doesn't matter where on the internet they are so long as they can be addressed in a browser directly.
want to incorporate a quick detachable folding basket in front
To heck with folding, these removable hand baskets are cool, my local bike shop carries them for like ~$35.
I put them on the last 2 electric builds I did, and also one on this Cadillac.
Note this pic was taken when I tried making a fancy photo wall with a discarded mirrored closet door as a floor...
On carpet...
The thin mirrored glass only lasted for pics of this bike hehe ;-}
The baskets really are handy though.
Just pull up the handle and the hand basket lifts right out of the bike holder to carry right in the store and shop, check out, then just drop the basket back on the mount and swing the handle down to lock it back to the bike.
Note, keep a bread tie handy to secure the handle, it can bounce up and release the basket.
Nice to meet ya Bee, and take it easy on your feet ;-}
