2ND BUILD BUT HAVING TROUBLE WITH STARTING MOTOR! NO SPARK

Harber, you should reinforce that front fender. A couple of folks on here had that fender come off going fast and it was a bad day for them. Especially with a economy brand bicycle, or just remove it all together. It's no joke my friend.

You could keep the front fender But it would require another U fender brace that bolts on the axle.
Some just put on a stronger L bracket. But by installing another U fender brace that's the only way I would feel safe

What have you got the white wire from the motor connected to? It shouldn't be connected to anything, just cut it off and throw it away. Then it's just a matter of blue wire to blue and black wire to black.

I suppose I could take the brace off the rear fender (which I had removed while installing sprocket) and add it to the front fender for additional support and save a buck or two.
I like the look of the fender simply for cosmetic value but not at the risk of injury.

The extra front fender brace should be mounted forward of the forks. IDK if ya can get your old brace to work
