**(My complete apologies if this is not the right place for this!)**
I want a 4 stroke, (NC) street legal, reliable motorized bicycle.
A bit about my situation: I am in the process of selling my truck because I would like to get out from under it, and I want to start using a motorized bicycle to get around (I don't have too much of a commute in any regard), to save up some money for a more reliable vehicle, and reduce my footprint a little bit in the process, without rendering myself immobile.
The only thing is that I am not very mechanically inclined, and I don't think that I know anyone that is anymore inclined than myself.
If I were to buy a kit and a bike and assemble:
I have my eye on the HuaSheng 4-stroke Kit. Is this a good, reliable kit? Any other kit recommendations? Also, what bike recommendations would you have for this kit (looking on the cheaper side of things/$70-$150) ? I see a lot of Cranbrooks, and they look nice, but I am open to other styles, too.
What are some good guides and videos for assembly? Tools required?
Would you recommend assembling yourself to someone with zero mechanical experience? My main worry is that I am going to order the bike and the kit and not be able to put the thing together. Which brings me to my next scenario...
If I were to somehow buy a bike that is already assembled or have someone assemble it for me:
How... how would I go about doing this? This is my ideal scenario. I have checked Craigslist, and while there are a couple good looking bikes on there sometimes, they are always at least 2 and a half hours away, and sometimes a bit pricey.
My main thing here is, does anyone know any way that I can get a new kit and bike, but avoid putting it together myself? Would small-motor shops do this kind of thing for a price? Any other ideas? My stress is basically not letting me trust myself enough to put one of these together without ruining it somehow, but... I really, really want and need one, hah...
Sorry for the ridiculous, rambling post. Thanks for reading and thanks a ton in advance for any and all advice.
