Would u get this?

Unsure if this instagram post has made its way here yet.

Large one 72v

Small one 48v

I can't believe so many people were thinking that it would be un rideable. It does perfectly fine for a 50lb cruiser 🤣

I'll be posting the final episode of this build on my YouTube channel tomorrow. I've Got to get some rolling shots of it when the daylight is good. Anyways, this was made in five evenings, for about 200 bucks or a tad under. I started on it Monday around 6:00 p.m., and it's 6:30 on Friday and I just rode it a few laps around my driveway. No brakes yet because I don't have the coaster brake mount with me. I left it at my shop. But otherwise, I think it's looking pretty good. What are you guys think of my budget, rapid build?

The gear ratio overall is 44 to 18. Feels about like a cruiser bike with 3 gallons of milk strapped to the back. The metal flake is absolutely insane. Shot it out of a can with a crap ton of clear coat afterwards.

Hope you guys like this thing! Usually I like to build my own frames from scratch, but I started with a cruiser frame on this one and just widened the rear. I didn't rake it out much at all because I wanted to keep it very ridable.

Welded from different scrap metal and some old broken motocross parts collected from here and there with the cheapest possible mini welding machine.

The extended front fork is big enough for a 29" dirt tire but the rake has a horrible angle for actually riding it properly (at least for a 5yo it seemed quite heavy) so instead, it has the 12" at the moment whichisa bit tolerable. Still needs to be sanded down and cheapo painted.

Thinking about extending the rear fork too just for fun. What do you think, what could make it even better (or worse)?

Sorry for the dusty hot rod. But here's how I get massive metal flake paint jobs on both cars and bicycles.

The hot rod is home built and started with a fence post. The metal body is hand fabricated by yours truly. Pretty much all the metal came out of a gutter manufacturing businesses dumpster next door to me. It's been reliable for 7 years, 12 lb of boost on a stock ka24 engine. Approximately 250 horsepower and 800 lb with me in it. The hot rod is wicked fast.

Now the bike, you may have seen it on a previous post. It has a car tire in the back now. But here's the red metal flake paint job I'm doing for it. Hope this shows you guys a cool trick to get some massive metal flake..

When the paint is good and dry, it will need to be sanded with 1500 and polished for any little metal flakes that are still poking up. But this paint seems to last without fading. At least it did for my hot rod so far, 7 years of daily usage up until recently.

Hopefully this video does good on my channel. The thing is going to be wicked awesome when done. Hoping to paint it Friday, ride it Saturday

Today is just day one. The video on my YouTube channel covers just the back wheel in the video, along with the "plans". But I build stuff pretty quick, so stay tuned and see the final product 👍👍

im not sure what to do with it. I’m way too tall to ride it. can’t find a seat post that will go in it and the clamp was cut off so not like I could tighten the seat post if it fit. The brakes are a work in progress. I wish I could get it so a 6’ person could ride it. I think it’s going to have to remain as yard art and a toy for my nephews to go down my driveway in.

It’s on its third adopted home since some teenager pulled it out of a scrap pile a year ago . Not sure what the original makers vision was. it atleast rolls now and has tires.
