This project started out to see if I could put a 240mm motorcycle tire on a bike. I was having a beer and cruising eBay and I "accidentally" bought a Harley wheel. So that committed me to building the bike! I started with a Chrom moly MTB frame and fabricated a new rear triangle and bottom bracket. It rode fine as a pedal bike and I used it like that for a while. I then decided to go electric. The front wheel is the drive motor so I am limited to the rim unless I decide to re-lace it. I would also need to replace the fork to do a wider tire and I like the modifications I have made to this fork. This rides fine except for a little torque steer. It is very stable due to the weight. It stops well with the front V brake and the rear disc. It has a range of at least 20 miles. People love the look!
