If his standard kit propels even HIM
Just sayin...
My performance kit is going to be a true Mongoose BEAST

Possibly , quite possibly , I will install a 4-Stroke engine
4-Stroke lasts longer, easier to maintain
Though 4-Stroke engines are generally higher priced and more difficult to build/install
...
Either way, I'm using ALL performance modifications readily available , generally low cost modifications, relatively easy to add/install modifications
I'm figuring 700-800 price point to begin with, no more than 900...
I want to be able to flip it for a grand. Learn from the process and still make a modest profit

The Mongoose Beast frame has smaller available room for an engine.
I am definitely contacting engine kit salesperson before purchase of an engine kit.
I am confident I can sell completed kit for a grand if I choose to sell.
...
If process is relatively painless, I'll build and sell a few of them.
It will certainly be less expensive to build more, I'll build better bikes, and adapt on how to sell them more rapidly...

I can't wait to see it, Tim! Don't forget to post a pic of your bike here when you're finished building it.

Oh, www.bikeberry.com/Is seriously advertising their Black Friday sale already. I possibly will wait. It would permit me to build and be ready for Christmas season sell, if I choose to sell it. |

Long Term Seriously considering making a custom gasoline bicycle in the future using this bike. riderungu.com/rungu-juggernaut/They have an electric model riderungu.com/electric-juggernaut/However the electric has a very modest range ... Beast of a bike... Idiots though , should have conducted a focus group to develop a marketing strategy and name. |

www.amazon.com/Micargi-SLUGO-Beach-Cruiser-Matte/dp/B016FFSYYMArrived today ... You are a moron if you pay 100$ for 'expert assembly'. The bicycle comes nearly completely assembled. You only put the front tire, seat, and handlebars on. It smells like a new car!!! Oh, I'm Happy. Its already a Fuckin Sweet bicycle sans gasoline engine. I've personally bought much , much more expensive bicycles.. This is my current favorite personally purchased bicycle. ... Soo much better than the Mongoose Beast in the first video on this page.

Oh, remember my complaining to companies about legitimate mistakes and getting really lucky with compensation lately?
Amazon just refunded a purchase of an item that I wanted, was delivered and I am happy with the item.
Amazon mistakenly charged the wrong method.
They issued a refund and said to keep the item.

Even sans engine the Micargi Sluggo looks like a chopper
I already ordered extra modifications...
Durable , heavy capacity rack, bike bags...
Extra expenses , still allow for 1000$ price at resale
If I choose to sell
...
Oh, and extra modifications to make tires nearly flat proof
Mr. Tuffy fat tire puncture resistant tire strips, tires filled with fix a flat ...Basically overkill
Of course all receipts saved for resale in the event of hard sell and haggler customer
...
Possibly , in the future , I'll look into actual motorcycle saddle bags for a build
I'd definitely put Harley saddle bags on the Juggernaut
Though, the Juggernaut I'll have to find the largest street legal gasoline engine I can find and assemble
That motherfucker will turn heads guaranteed
In the event some wealthy individual flags me down for an impulse buy
I'll sell it on the spot
For the right price
Just imagine seeing that Juggernaut riding down the road with a gasoline engine
'Wow, I've never seen that motorcycle before'
Heh
Downside , definitely insured against theft

Well Shit! I've been outside of the 'bicycle' loop for quite some time. Never really had any problem with my flat resistant modification. However , tubeless bicycle tires are on the market Yes, they currently make tubeless fat bicycle tires Best part, decreased resistance ... Easily transferred to even faster top speed www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/specials/fat-bike-tubeless-vs-tubes"Easily gain 10% in power" That's huge, especially for cost and little effort involved ... The Internet sure is convenient |

However there is a 212cc gasoline bicycle kit...It , by all accounts, requires aftermarket modification to function properly.
Do the math...If 80cc can reliably get you 35mph...
212cc provides enough torque for fucking wheelies..
Definitely not doing 212cc out the gate.
Though I could sell that guaranteed nearly overnight...212cc kits will certainly be available down the line not requiring significant aftermarket modifications.
However 212cc or better on the Juggernaut is the ONLY way to go.
And 212cc is certainly testing limits with street legal.
...
Can you imagine seeing the Juggernaut with a 212cc just cruising down the street at 40mph easily ...?
Madness.
Madness is Gute.
Wealthy Impulse buyer highly probable.
Brass Balls
412cc
No question, that's a motorcycle.
Perspective , my first motorcycle at 10 years old was a Kawasaki 125cc
Same 212cc engine
Skip forward to 22 minute mark.

The Above Micargi Sluggo... Damn Sweet bicycle ...Still pristine new, not a foot travelled while riding. Didn't know they made a higher weight capacity rack. Pictures don't do it justice. ... Definitely going to head my own advice ... Blog and affiliate-program.amazon.com/Links on blog, in the works. There are expats living comfortably in Thailand with that as their primary source of income. |

Here's a little bicycle story for your bike thread...
My absent-minded daughter, who visits the local 7-11 frequently to hang out with her friends, rode her bicycle there to meet up with them yesterday afternoon. Well , later that day they all decided to walk off somewhere else and my daughter ended up leaving her bike just sitting there in front of the store unlocked, and later that evening she called and had her mother come and pick her up somewhere else. This morning while sitting out back I noticed that the shed was unlocked and when I went to go check it out I noticed that her bike was missing. I asked her where it was at and she told me the whole story, so we took a ride to the 7-ll and unbelievably there it was still sitting there where she had left it last! I couldn't believe it. It was sitting there overnight for over 15 hours and no one stole it. I have lived in various neighborhoods over the years where that bicycle wouldn't have lasted more than an hour before someone eventually rode off with it. I am glad that we found it because it would have cost me a hundred bucks to replace it otherwise. Kids! Sheesh!

Most likely pushing bike project completion back a bit.
A plus, likely existing engines decrease in cost, and better , more powerful engines will hit the market.
Bike hasn't travelled a foot with a rider.
A sweet bike, as is.
Most likely add a better rack and PASSENGER SEAT, a more powerful engine desired.
Unless , Black Friday deal is just to sweet to pass up...

Like I would forget this project ..Ha
He is likely riding a Micargi, from his grips, but not a fat-tire Micargi
Now if Micargi would just combine their stretch cruiser and Fat-tire , SWEET!
Micargi Stretch
Micargi Fat-Tire

Micargi stretch plus fat-tire would easily cost less than half of this bad mother-fucker... However , that is a Bad MotherFucking bicycle... www.bigvintagebicycle.com/eagleAnd $1500.00 is NOT a lot for a custom made bicycle... Slap the largest street legal engine on it...a chopper , no license required... Check these electric BEASTS out Likely a California company , it is very difficult to make a street legal gasoline engine bicycle in California. 7000$That is an expensive bicycle. And appears to not have PREMIUM components...ridiculous Though all hand made...Cough* Rolex Cough* So $7000 is a bargain ...I wouldn't consider even still www.marscycles.com/ |

Don't forget the BEHEMOTH riderungu.com/rungu-juggernaut/I still consider it... Custom $2500 +++ A TRUE BEHEMOTH would be a stretch Juggernaut ... Are you listening RUNGU? @rungu company you know who I am... You take my idea and run with it...A complimentary BEHEMOTH would be appreciated. |

Just contacted Rungu and submitted my idea to them, the "Juggernaut Behemoth" ...
A stretch model Juggernaut ...If done right , lower seat, more chopper like appearance ...
And guarantee a strong seller to their usual client base.
...
Tesla, Should IMMEDIATELY parter with Harley Davidson to begin building prototype electric bikes...
Before another company does...
Duh
Harley Davidson Teslas
A match made in , my mind...
A stroke, of Genius???
NO COMPANY (period) ...Would be able to touch their market share for electronic motorcycles.

Message Just Sent to Tesla Board Of Directors
"IDEA
Seriously Tesla parter arrangement with Harley Davidson
Harley Davidson Tesla ...Electronic motorcycles
Think long and hard
ZERO company could compete with that union for electronic motorcycles
The market share would be unmatched , untouchable ...
I am relocating to Freemont, California within a year...I respect Tesla as a company and cannot think of a single company that I would rather be employed by.
I know that I would be a responsible , trustworthy ,happy and most loyal employee in ANY capacity.
Please, give me some consideration.
Timothy Clyne
Veteran United States Army

(My Personal Cell Number)
Even forward my information with even a minor recommendation to Tesla Human Resources would absolutely be appreciated.
Thank You,
Timothy Clyne"
...
Edit to add..
Even just knowing that I thought of Harley Davidson Tesla...If created , is very satisfying.
Those fucking bikes would sell, and nothing could compete with that union.

Ha, engines have significantly decreased in price...Over a full hundred lower.
Even before Black Friday deal that salespeople told me specifically to expect.
A little bird told me...
Bike Engine likely purchased later this very month.
