My first motorized bike was stolen right after I finished putting it together (of course). I would rather not have to build another one from scratch due to working part time and going to school full time. The primary reason I want a motorized bike is to have an easy time getting around the city of Berkeley CA, which is very hilly in places.
If anyone has tips for what to watch out for when buying a prebuilt bike I would appreciate it. I'm trying to avoid buying a scooter (is basically the same functionality as a moped but 3x the price) or motorcycle (too expensive).
The only thing that would get me to buy a kit is if it does not require a huge amount of tweaking/aftermarket parts to get running as mine did. I'm talking just bolting the engine/gas tank on hooking up the wires and cables and that's it.
