Description: Hello to all!, i am a new member on this site but i have read posts as a none member and found it very interesting in the past! I thought i would show you some pictures of the bike i have just designed and built, i have made the frame, swing arm, suspension pivots, brake/chain adjusters and brackets from scatch, and mostly from stainless steel! the front suspension are marzochhi bomber 888's, the rear shock is a manitou swinger 4 way, the wheels are eclat bmx rims mounted on mountain bike hubs (hope pro 2 front, dmr revolver rear) with hayes hfx9 hydraulic brakes. it is powered by a briggs and stratton etek running off an alltrax programmable controller with 4 33ah agm 12v batteries. the bike will do 50 mph with a 20 - 25 mile range (at around a 25 - 30 mph average speed) and will power wheelie at 20 - 25 easy! ( and thats with a 235 pound rider!). i built the bike, tested it, then stripped it to paint. The pictures are of the final assembly after painting! hope you like it!!!
