Hello! I was knocking about this forum for awhile as a guest stopping in to learn about my 1950's firestone. Well to cut the happy story short I ran into a pole while riding behind my fiance, which in no way shape or form had any reason to why I ran into said pole. Well the fork got bent backwards and bike soon fell apart charlie chaplin slapstick style. It sat for a bit, well I have a car now, and it sat for a bit as the car replaced it as my means of transportation.
I always wanted to make a motorized bicycle, But those chinese kits are not what I want. I wish I was lucky enough to have a crazy uncle with a freaking whizzer in his shed but alas I am not plagued with such fortune. Instead I have a Firestone my fiance picked up at a garage sale for 20 bucks which I have literally ridden it until its wheels fell off. I've done research to see what has been done, what works, and what to not do so I am not coming in completely blind, but I still have questions and this is my first bike build, but I am welder by trade, and a hardcore steampunk.
