Had a Bike Bug friction drive as a kid @ 30 years ago and loved it.
So, I decided to relive my childhood and build a new one with the rock solid Staton kit. Tried to make it as stealthy as possible with the engine enclosed in a metal basket to keep people guessing ;-)
Used an inner tube to cover the metal U-bracket, added fenders, wide tires, dry box for tools, horn, cycle computer, turn signals, led brake lights for front/rear, Fenix flashlight for daytime strobe, MSR bottle for extended rides, mirror, two-leg kickstand, etc...
So far, I've ridden just over 700 miles(average 165mpg) and tops out right at 30mph. It has all the legal requirements for Florida RS-68, just have to make appt with regional DMV to get it registered. It's been a blast to build and ride so far!
Thanks for looking.
