Thick spokes and double wall rims. Some guys use moped wheels to get speed rated. You can not power a 212cc bike from the spokes. It will tear them clean out. You need to use a jack shaft. And you have to drive the rear wheel with a sprocket. If you dont know how its done let me know and Ill fill you in. (hint think disk brake hub)
Thanks I got it all figured out, or at least for tonight I do....
