I just wish they had a better option for strength.
I chose the three spoke mags even though I like the look of the multi-spoked ones, specifically for the much more robust strength of the 3 spoke wheels.

Much better and more expansive rim contact which IS their strength over the mult-spoke mags.

Also even with my weight and the weight of the bike, the axles and bearings are holding up extremely well plus they come with the disk brakes and rotor setup as well as the 36 tooth sprocket.

I meant a better option outside of the 3 spokes lol

I like my Hyper Cruiser frame.

One word of warning if you're considering rim brakes on the rear. The cross-brace that you would normally use for rim brakes already has holes... 90 degrees from where you want them... as they are used to mount the fenders on the stock bicycle. If you want to use it for rim brakes, you are going to likely want to fill in those holes with some steel before you drill 90 degrees off from them for the rim brakes.

If you decide to go disc brakes you WILL need to stretch the frame a bit. Not a huge issue for a man of your talents however, I am sure.

:D

Mr ImpulseRocket, have you considered a brushless scooter motor like the my1020? The motors are very high speed and low torque but the prices are cheaper than mid drive kits and I've seen power rating as high as 3kw at 72v on the market.
