Hey guys, I live in a town called Surprise Arizona, its a far northwest suburb of Phoenix. From my house I can drive 10 minutes (in a car) and be into the desert. I currently only have a car and I'm looking to build a bike that I could take down dirt roads to look for snakes and tarantula to photograph. I'm not interested in going fast at all, as its pretty easy to miss small insects when your going 20+ miles an hour. What I'm looking for is a bike that will be extremely reliable, have good torque to make it up relatively steep uphills, and something that could pull a small one wheel bike trailer to hold my camera, snake handling gear, and some food and water. I know this is a lot to ask from a bike, but I want to use a motorized bike because I could leave my house and go right into the desert (without getting a motorcycle endorsement on my license) and I want a project to work on.
My price range is under 700$ which gives me a good deal to work with. I'm currently looking at getting a 4 stroke 79cc monster 90 kit with the beach cruiser that comes with it. I'm planning on replacing the rims with gasbikes aluminum mag wheels that come with a 44T sprocket attached directly to the hub, I'd also plan on replacing the stock chain tensioner with gasbikes Arch Idler Pulley Chain Tensioner as ive heard the stock tensioner is kinda crappy. Right now that puts my full build at 560$. Are their any add on you guys would suggest or anything that you'd recommend doing differently?
