As I said in my introductory post, I'm still tossing around ideas for bicycle options. I really like the idea of a motorized chopper bicycle, and the Schwinn Stingrays seem to be an inexpensive option in that category. My worry is that the bike itself might be too small for full-size riders, what with it being a 20" boys bike and all.
I know people have built these before, and I did search and read through all the threads I could find. I just didn't see much information regarding the size of the bike and any limitations it might cause. Are full-size riders able to pedal or ride comfortably at all? Would a setback seat post and different handlebars make a significant difference in this regard?
I'd love to go with a chopper-style bicycle, but not at the cost of usability. I can't quite afford the up-front cost of some of the other chopper options (the ones I'm aware of, anyway) at the moment, so if the Stingray is too limiting, I'll scrap the chopper plans for now and go with something else.
