well honestly with the gearing the bike currently has the upgrade to the BBSHD might provide a little more speed but I am not sure. I am doing it because I have a trailer I haul occasionally to the beach and have burned out one controller so it is mainly more for durability than top speed. The...
Hey SR thank you very much! Well a few things have changed since my last post. I will add some updated images to this reply. I am using a Bafang BBSO2B 750 Watt mid drive motor and a rear Shimano 3 speed internally geared hub. I had to add an eccentric bottom bracket adapter due to the BB Shell...
Good day everyone! Hoping someone can steer me in the right direction. I am semi-capable when it comes to wrenching on a bike. But I am good with my hands and can usually figure stuff out.

thank you very much! I cannot take any credit for the build. I just bought it in its current configuration. coming from a super73 ebike to this has been an adjustment. i didnt notice anything like that but i am used to leaning more forward (which is a must with the ape-hangers this bike has as...
Greetings from fort lauderdale! Long time lurker, first time poster. After getting my first build completed, broke down and picked up a ?? year Kustom Kruiser Roadster. Not sure on the year. I have quite a bit of research to do prior to starting on my planned list of mods (definitely going to...
