New motorized bicycle project

[prodigit]

I almost finished my beach cruiser, just waiting for more parts.

I'll also upload a pic.
All I'm having problems with is finding a good braking system. The coaster brake is far from good, reliable or dependable in emergencies!
It barely can brake.

My old Rollfast motorbike used a New Departure Model D coaster hub, and it was pretty good at braking the 80cc kit. BUT the non-name china hub on my last motor bike was totally worthless, and since it became seized when trying to brake at 20mph, I have to say; do not use a cheap-o coaster brake on a motorbike conversion.

Granted, both bikes were stolen, so I was not able to adequately test the new Departure Model D coaster brake.

I think installing a good cable or hydraulic disc set is the way to go for motorbike brakes.
