This project started with two donar bikes. A tandem, and an old beach cruiser I picked up in Pacific Beach.
The tandem had a nice rear wheel with a big drum brake. I had the hub relaced into a 24 inch aluminum wheel, with a 3 inch wide Fatti O tire. Thanks to Sam at Hidden Valley bicycles in Escondido CA

Next I built the rear end using the tandem tubing & drop outs. This needed to be widened for the wide tire & chain clearance. I chopped the beach cruiser completely in half at the seat post. After eliminating the seat post there was a lot of room for the motor, and by rocking it back increased the rake for the front end. I welded another bottom bracket into the frame to house the internal jackshaft and used the weld on supports that came with the go cart jackshaft kit to support the other end of the axle.![IMG_0783.jpg IMG_0783.jpg](https://motoredbikes.com/data/attachments/0/337-320a585ad4e018c7144f33c06ff09054.jpg)

Next I mounted the motor, a 49cc Chinese MOON (Mitsubishi Clone) 2 stroke with a CVT torque converter. This motor was a take off from a go ped I bought off ebay new for $199.00. I mocked up the rest of the bike & test drove it to make sure it worked.
I dis assembled the bike to the frame & had it powder coated gloss black. $110.00 at North County Powder coating in San Marcos CA.

Ready for re assembly. I mounted the rear wheel to center & allign with the drive sprocket. Then the jackshaft was assembled
