Sorry to hear that bobo.
Around our town we have lots of what we call DWI riders. Usually all males from 25-50, they ride around with the seat very low and no leg extension Usually wearing work clothes with a cadence about 40 and a cigarette in their hand.

You might want to get a decent road bike. In a few months you might be able to cruise at 15-20 mph and free yourself of the expenses of owning a vehicle and the stigma of being a dui-rider.

I am soon to lose my car license so im currently looking around for other transport and a hybrid bike is high on my list, a combination of a hub motor and the 50cc 2 stroke i already have sounds like mighty good fun

a tadpole like this is probably out of my league (time more so than construction ability) but its good to dream!
