[QUOTE="mark20, post: 499448, member: 29113"] my first kit was a 82$ motor on a 20$ bike. it lasted me all year until i sold it to my buddy (well traded for a engine) if you want reliability, id go for a higher-end kit (my engine had no problems internally, but ive had to replace nearly everything else in that kit) you can still pedal the bike normally with the clutch in, and bike racks are no problem. to build, about a day, to make reliable, around a week for everything thats going to loosen to loosen. you will hit around 30mph, after the engine brakes in. i used my bike year around (rain, shine, snow, ice) tires are the most important part, DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON TIRES get a duel brake lever, so you get more braking power, v brakes are more than enough. good luck! (also, i recommend this kit for your first one [URL='https://www.bicycle-engines.com/new-zeda-80-complete-80cc-bicycle-engine-kit-firestorm-edition/']here[/URL] ) [/QUOTE]
