My son was riding it.

Just a little bike I made. 2.5HP motor. 26" industrial wheels with 11 gauge spokes, drum brake front & coaster rear, balloon tires, fenders, oak foot boards and oak rear rack, 1910s head light converted with a tri-LED. Belt reduction drive. Good up to 35mph.

Thats cool! How long did it take you?

About 3 months. Bent tubing for floor board mounts, fabricated engine mount, belt tensioner, bent luggage rack tubing, made floor boards & rack slats, lay back seat post... primer, paint, stencil tank logo, pin-striping...

I had an offer of $1000 that I should have taken over the summer. I think I would have broken even.
