How about 2 Cycle

Yea another of my China toys

I got this one to hang on the back of the cab for cruising around on my 34 hour DOT resets.

Not really a small bike go's 35MPH and I manage over 100 miles on a mixed tank. I don't drive for SWIFT no more. also classified as a bicycle in New Mexico. Just like the Hawk it has a poorly made carb that will make screwdrivers cry..

Nice beach cruiser, bobber there. Jerry . I was on the road busy at the time so I had a guy in Tucson Az. build mine. It has been lots of fun and I enjoy the rides. Everyone seems to enjoy seeing it when I run down the main strip.

Thanks, I don't have it anymore. I was out riding it one day and a guy flagged me down to take a look at it. The guy offered me $550 cash for it so took the money and walked home lol. I think I had about $125 tied up in it. The bike was given to me. I have another bike sitting in the shed I will probably build later on.

If a guy was setup on the beach or coast somewhere. You could make a bundle building these. There a great cheap mode of transport and beat the heck out of a Bird, or lime scooter. In San Antonio Tx they have a group that gets together down by the river walk and does bike rides every week about 150 people at night all there fancy lights on there bicycles. I bet a guy could sell 50 in a week there to those tired of peddling.

I've though about doing that. The key would be to find a inexpensive base bike with a decent disc brake system to keep the cost down. That's the only problem I had with the Huffy was I didn't feel comfortable with the brakes a high speeds.


The Mongoose Dolomite Fat Tire bike would probably be the best one to work with.

Motorized bicycles are awesome if you have roads nearby with suitable speed limits (40 mph or less). I have built a few of those. You never stop changing them. Always improvising parts designed for other things. I may have to build another, now that I live in an area where the roads are more suitable for motorized bicycles. For me, they are just plain fun.
