I'm sure you guys get a lot of threads like this, so thanks in advance for the help--hope I put this in the right section.
Anyway, soon I will be moving to a small town in NC--I could make do with a regular pedal bike like I have been for the last few years, but it would be a whole lot easier to have a motor--you understand.
Anyway, I talked to the guy in the local bike shop about putting a motor on a bike and he explained that most bikes aren't built for that kind of vibration, and end up falling apart in one way or another.
Then I find these websites like Spooky Tooth Cycles that have bicycles made for use with an engine kit, along with the engine kit, at an affordable price. Of course I look around the net to find that their service and product is a bit shaky, at least since they've been under new management.
Okay so I'll get to the point--Can anyone point me in the direction of getting a bicycle that can safely handle a motor kit in the 500-700 dollar range? Sorry if this questions sounds stupid or if the answer seems obvious, but i have no experience with this. How can I get a good and reliable and safe motorized bike for $500-700?
Again, thank you in advance.
