I built a motorized biycle once thinking it would be fun. Used a steel framed Schwinn cruiser bike and a honda generator motor on a friction drive with heavy duty rims, upgraded brakes, etc. It WAS fun to build but an absolute pain in the butt to ride, literally. Even with the springer fork. That underbraked BMX frame looks worse, and dangerous. I sold it for what I put into it.

If you want a small cheap motorcycle, there are a lot of CT70 clones out there, some of those get very cheap, or just find a CT70 frame needing a donor motor and put in an inexpensive Lifan.
