Another dumb idea. 👍

Since I am here... I have been looking at a ton of bike frames, and think I came across a potential winner in regards to horizontal space. Also steel. Not familiar with the brand, and the price is a bit much considering I don't want to keep most of the bike, but it has potential. I love the orange color they offer too.

Sixthreezero is more of a high end brand made with quality in mind and YEP, Its pricey but the quality is there.

Yeah, I have seen nothing but good reviews on them, and it isn't too bad in terms of price. I can order it through Walmart and get a discount using my girlfriends employee code to to shave 40 bucks off of it lol.

If I could have afforded more expensive for just the bike frame that I would be using, That would be the bike I would get.

The only thing I wish I could do is see one in person to be able to measure some things, or use my cardboard template to see of the motor will fit vertically since I have to raise it to clear the pedal sprocket.

Thats the drawback right now on almost anything that you want to buy these days since the supply chains are still broken after the economic fiasco due to Covid and the various world governments knee jerk reaction to it resulting in shutting down almost everything in their failed attemts to contain the virus.

This is part of the resulting fallout from all of that...Heck The Hyper I bought in May 2020 was the one and only bike my local Walmart had in stock and they didn't even take it out of the box or build it for display, and now you can only get them by online ordering.

I had to open the box at the store and measure everything to be sure it would accomodate everything that I wanted to do with it.

They used to make them bikes in a number of frame sizes, 18"-24" for sure. I think they take that measurement, from the top of seat tube, to the center of the bottom bracket. I never can find anybody with them in stock.

As it so happens, just out of curiosity I looked on Marketplace to see what was out there. If I am willing to drive 2 hours there is an orange one for sale for just 200 bucks, assuming it has not sold yet. I might try to bring the price down a tad more and come home with it. Even if I don't use it for this idea it could make a good platform for an e-bike, or just as a fun second bike to ride around on.

They only show it as an 18" bike on their website. I wouldn't mind a taller size, but I only need about 14 inches of height to work with above the pedal sprocket
