New motorized bicycle project

So, you still ride em?

I just started a new project myself,
The Walmart Onyx 29" beach cruiser, with a 2 stroke 66cc engine on.
This'll be my new cruiser, with a rear sprocket of 32-36T (still deciding).

I want to go fast, but not unsafe fast, and I also want to cruise happily at 20-30MPH, not with a screaming engine.
But most of all, I want high MPG. Estimated I'd do in the 170's of MPG.

But you're way ahead of me,
I love the idea of combining the engine with the internal gears!
However for now, I don't have the luxury ($$$) to do that...

I was also looking for disc brakes, however, I think I'm going for a cheaper alternative.
In your case you may be able to mount 2 discs, but in mine, I can only use 1.
So no reason to pay extra for that!
