My friend who is interested in building a motorized bike really wants to go with a road bike. The frame is large enough to hold the engine for sure. The only issue that I see is that the handle bars are not straight but instead drop down like road bike handle bars.
I'm thinking that I could cut the end off of the throttle and slide it up the handle bar so that my friend can use the brake and throttle without shifting too much.
Will this work or is it dumb to start with a road bike?
Here is the bike:
