man, that's sweet! I promise never to ride it in sandals if I get one.
Yeah, that was amazingly stupid... and he's putting his feet out in the turns!! :wtf:
I love the 24" rear wheel. That could be some serious fun if you put some proper foot pegs on it. I couldn't care less about the pedaling function (unless they incorporated that to replace the kickstart). I see a lot of potential in a 100 lb 50cc dirt bike with MTB parts.
I would imagine something like this would have some downfalls and not be quite like a 'real' motorcycle, but I also think the final product is pretty light and plenty capable. Could you imagine riding this up on the Ridge Trail up AF Canyon? It would be a blast!
I agree about the pedals, at this point it's probably not too fun to pedal on anything uphill.... get rid of them and put pegs on.
I was totally sold on the idea, until I realized he never pedals it in his videos.. So just buy a motorcycle.
Yeah, I guess the difference here is that this is no 'motorcycle', since it uses a 50cc engine you don't need a MC license on the street. Not sure about registration & plates. There are some interesting reasons behind the build. Something like this could be a pretty damn cool commuter if you lived downtown somewhere, they get 80-100 MPG and you could park it at a bike rack. I'd much rather ride this, than a stupid scooter...
I'd think it's decently light compared to other motorcycles, they claim 115 lbs ready to ride, depending on components used. I would love to see one in person and spend some time on one, to see how it all works together.
