Well, i crashed my old Kona Stinky ride, resulting in broken fork and wheels (and pride)
I've spent 15000km and two painful winters of commuting on this bike, RIP..
It was time to start a new ride. I decided to go for a moped conversion to get more durability and real estate. I can tell you it’s frustrating dealing with 16 year old kids.. And trust me, it's not good to buy a two wheeler anything out of a barn in the swedish winter 8)
I ended up with a spanish made Rieju RR 50cc bike from 1998. It was in a really beat up condition but the main thing was to get a frame older than the change to EU regulations so that it's allowed to go on bike paths with a decent top speed.
Some pics:
Trying to find the location for stuff that i moved from the Kona:

First revision finished:

New stuff:
rear shock, rear brake assy, steer head bearing, battery pack
from another bike:
Front shock
seat
wheels
bars
Motor: rewound revolt rv120pro
Controller: kelly kls72300
Battery: 200 tired 18650 cells, 100 new in the pack under the seat.
I have 300km on it already. I am planning to get rid of the chain and turn it into a belt drive later on, apart from that i'll try to keep from doing anything on it
