Saw this on CL in Detroit this morning. http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/bik/4064383158.html

I wonder if the motor gets in the way with it hanging out the side like that?

 

[Bill in Houston]

ya, the entire motor and drivetrain is on the left side of the bike. looks tippy.

Ditch the pedals (prolly can't pedal around the motor without leg burns anyway) slap a banana seat and some apes on it, and give it to your gf/wife to ride side saddle

Again, swiss army knife dangerous!!! Where's the brakes?????
Bet it pedals easier...

No lie. Relying on the feeble coaster brake which uses a welded driver that's been known to rip apart at the weld is just asking for it. You would be far better off putting the motor on the new Dolomite (7 speed version of the Beast with dual disk brakes)

I have a customer, Huffy cruiser and a hot 66 cc motor. First it ate the spokes out of the rear wheel. Yesterday he called and said he had cased a curb cause the brake went out.
Must have a back up brake besides a foot!

The setup as shipped is rough on the rear spokes. There are plenty of no brake horror stories out there. Need to get a front drum setup for my cruiser.
