I've decided that I want a fat tire beach cruiser as a donor bike. I've narrowed my choices down to these three brands Electra, Sikk and Micargi. Here are the models I'm looking at.
The Electra and the Sikk are priced similarly so I'm wondering if the Sikk has better components or build quality. The Micargi is substantially cheaper so I worry about the components and the build quality. Currently the Electra is looking like the best choice due to it being available at a LBS and has many build threads on multiple forums. I like the Micargi because of price and I like the Triple Tree Fork but better build and components are more important to me.
I'm leaning towards a 3k Mxus hub build but I'm also considering a bbshd mid drive. The Electra has build threads for all of these motors and more so that's another plus for the Electra.
I could use some help choosing between these bikes, or another bike if it's better then any of these. If all goes as planned I will be buying the bike this week.
Thanks!
