I was searching for a bike to add a motor kit to and after shopping around a bit decided on this one. First of all it's BIG. I'm 6'2" and 250 lbs so I wanted a bike that would be comfortable and this one fit the bill. Secondly, I noticed that this bike had generally good reviews. It also had the aesthetics I was looking for. It has an old school look with fenders and is all black with a white chain. I ordered the bike unassembled and built it myself. Instructions were just ok because they were generic for cruiser bikes and not specific for this model. But building it wasn't hard. Check youtube for vids on assembling cruiser bikes and you'll be fine. I took off all of the tacky stickers on the bike frame and wheels. They came off easy. Then I added a 66/80 cc engine kit to it. Note that you must replace handlebars if you plan on motorizing this bike because the handlebar tubes have a larger diameter than the throttle/handgrip diameter of most of the engine kits. Similarly, you will have to find an alternate means of mounting the fuel tank because the main tube is of a wider diameter than most bikes. After putting the motor on it, I decided I needed side view mirrors and a side-pull caliper front brake for safety because this bike only comes with a coaster brake which is insufficient for the additional speed and weight that motorizing it yields. So far I'm very happy with the quality of this bike for the price. It's exactly what I was looking for.
