Ofc... it would have been cheaper to just buy a moped/scooter - as before though, where's the fun in that?


The thought of the Honda CT90/CT110 wheels came to mind. I believe the gentleman that built the 55mph California Cruiser that was white (looked like a Star Wars Speedster). I believe he used them and had great luck with them, being able to take advantage of the high speed bearings and light skinny wheel/tires sets... Just a thought. :{)
