I watched this in a guy's yard for 2 weeks.

So, I seen him today cutting his yard I asked him what kind of bike is it.

His response was, "you want it?, take it", He also said it really needs a new home.

So I said, "let me take my bike home I’ll come and get it real soon".

So my wife drops me off at his house. I knocked on his door and he says, "ok", he says, "take it, and here you go, a battery for it".

He’s about 70. I was speechless. I plugged in the battery and I flew home. I was thinking wow.

Nice! That's awesome man.
Gotta be honest though wish I was having that kinda luck lately!
Definitely a nice bike for free, I also have not seen one like it, what have you found out about it?

It's all works. Chain is loose on motor and pedal side. I'm pretty sure it will go 23 to 25 mph. I'm good with that.

How does the motor drive the wheel? Hard to figure out with available pics. Can you post close up pics from the rear showing how motor drives it? Never seen a setup/electric like that. Looks like an axle kit from Staton kinda sorta.

I bought a kit for 90 bucks that looks a lot like what you have on that bike. Just need a battery now, and they are $300 plus lol
