I AM TOTALLY STOKED!
I just finished assembling my recycled/junked parts MTB and Dax 50cc 2-stroke kit yesterday and took it for a test ride. I loved it!
While I expected to feel a little more punch at the low end, the speed of the kit is both impressive and deceiving. Without having to work for it, one loses some perspective on how fast they are actually going!
Regardless, I'm now revelling in the fact of how little I spent on this entire bike. Using parts and a frame from multiple bikes that people have discarded or donated, I have well under $30 into it excluding the motor cost. It is truly a cheapskate special.
Of course, the shakedown cruise literally turned into a 'shake down' as I soon realized the motor mounts weren't tight enough, but only a half mile from home, I realized the major benefit of MB'ing: It didn't matter because I had pedals!
Now to cancel the car insurance for the summer . . .
