yep, what got me besides the build was each wire connection was soldered. and it kind of sounds like a manual transmition backing up at high speed in reverse.  also how he ground the motor shafts a flat spot for the set screw on the chain cogs.

I had told my bicycle guy to be on the look out for me and  find me a big wheel big , well , yesterday he did , this is biggest tires I seen yet on one , but he wants $250 for it , says it is a $700 bike and was rode one time , I have not found this bike yet to see what they are really worth 

 

The area where a engine would go is kind of tight , 11.5 inches along the up tube  , don't think this is a good candidate for an engine transplant , but I do love the bike  and I could see it tricked out

the picture doesn't do them wheels justice on the size of them , they are huge --- I know I will be stopping there sometimes today , and take another pic ---- I want the bike , but don't want to give him $250 for it , thinking about what I could trade him for it  , $200 would be the most I would want to go , as it look like he exaggerated on the $700 , but I am not sure if the one he has , has even bigger tires and is made of aluminum , where this one isn't

Look up fat bike, they are big up here for winter riding, you drop the air in the tires for riding on snow.

bet you have you have something he'll trade for, and i agree looks limited for engine space. i understand the fat tires, for better support but the holes is what I'm referring to.

Not all models have them holes , you can fell the boot and there is a little flex , I would guess it gives some cushion , when the tire and tube flex from a bump , it expands into the hole , what's your guess ----  I offered $175 , said he'd let me know

Another bicycle project has found me ---  this time going dirt bike , using  a jack shaft set up , the engine will drive the  OEM  7 gear rear sprocket  and make it a shiftable 7 speed 

 

This big tire bike is so easy to pedal thru grass and rocks , I kind of hate to modify it 

 

Put 8 miles on the last project bike yesterday , which I need to come up with a name for to distinguish the two , beautiful weather

how about the Louisiana legend for your gas powered build ? tuned in to see the other build, but I'm like you, maybe just keep that new bike stock ? , however I'm curious as to what you come up with for a jack shaft setup.

 The Mongoose is gonna be called Da’Goose.  The E-Zip I don’t know yet.  The jack shaft Kit I am going to get 75% Pre-fabbed from Sick Bike Parts.
