I got to thinking, if this is 80cc, then why not take a 80cc 6 speed dirt bike engine and mount it up. Now that will be deadly. lol Was looking into electric ones and they are pretty cool to. Brushless motors that can be had in the front or back. So basically you can pick up 2 kits and have a 2wd bike for when the going gets rough. :scott: ---

I’ll stick with my 50cc fully street legal scooter… does 45mph and only cost me $150 (+75/yr to insure and 13/yr to register) ---

So, last night I took the bike out with a friend to a snky place where they had a traffic radar gun set up. I hit 31 mph with all motor basically stock. Then I took the exhaust completley off to see the difference. Not only was it loud as fuck, but I hit 36 mph. Thats fast for a bicycle. Still very happy with this thing. ---

I ordered my kit a long time ago and just now opened the box. They sent me a 66cc version. Anyone else have this problem? ---
