Hi CosmicKid
Okay swapping a motor would be too tough for you at this point. Start by repairing something. Fix or replace that chain on your bike. I know that I didn't learn how to use tools before I tried.

I would say that most of the projects here are by people who are learning by doing.

Don't you think if we could, we would? Instead, we're looking at companies like Honda and others selling the bikes we want, outside the US, and not here. That's all.
