Hello All,
I know I haven't been active for a while on this forum, mainly because I have been busy with school and other academic stuff. Since school is out now because of Coronavirus, I have had plenty of time to work on projects in my garage (I still have online classes though). Last December, I crashed my motorized bike and broke it beyond repair. Thankfully I had the proper gear (helmet, gloves, elbow and knee pads) on so I walked away fine aside from a few bruises and scrapes. The bike had a lot of issues anyway and wasn't working well so I decided that I would start building a new and improved motorized bike from scratch. Five months later and it's finally finished! I got the money to build it from mowing lawns and doing yard work around my neighborhood (thankfully people pay very well for lawn service since gardening companies rip people off). Attached below are some photos and a list of the parts, modifications, and specifications of the bike.
