My first longish ride today and a seat/seatpost mod is at the top of the list. The only annoyance is the spaghetti factory of untidy wires.

He will soon lose his drivers license to a loss in vision skills. Like myself the bike will become a lifeline to continue self sufficiency. We've looked at photos of a few kits. The works an seems to have cheaper components and an old style 1 piece crank, old style bearing and races too? The cozy looks good to us but no one to really chat with and make real comparisons. No independent reviews either. We're it me I'd find a trek trike nd convert but his talents are those of a drummer not a mechanic, and I'm 1600 miles away unable to travel yet.
BTW he was Pearl Baily's drummer at Bugsy Segals place in Las Vegas. I own the photo!

Nice! I have three Smoothies, one of each size. The kinda dumbed them down and lowered the price but you scaled i5 up nicely. Well done. A really comfortable bike. I just c9nverted two fromm bbshd to mac motors. Great rides!Fjp said:Been adding and changing this Manhattan Smoothie since last June..... I think I’m done with the mods. It has 2000 Watts, an Allcell 48v 23ah battery and a Cycle Analyst. The conversion was done by H.e.H out of Ann Arbor, MI - did a great job. Added suspension front fork, back rest, Hobson seat, Thudbuster seat post, custom handlebars and moved the battery into the triangle. Thanks to all for the answers to the dumb questions I posted. Got what I wanted in the end, a “ geezer Cruiser” with all the comforts an old guy could want. My only slight apprehension is the battery mount. It’s nice and tight but didn’t have room for much padding?
