The daymak bike is on sale for $1,000 CAD right now. I looked into buying a bike and retrofitting it with an electric motor and you're not really ahead in cost. For some reason these things are a lot more expensive here. That $299 bike is $498 at walmart.ca https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/roadmaster-hampton-tricycle-26-wheels-unisex-blue/6000199614699 and a 1000w hub and battery conversion kit will cost upwards of $700.Good luck, IDK how much those scooters cost but the trike is $299 at Walmart. For $150 more you can add 1000w elect motor and she will do 20mph...and they come in red too

I would have to get an M2-L license to ride that here. As soon as you put a gasoline motor on it's classified as a limited speed motorcycle.

Bike...newspaper, pawn shop, yard sale......

killer, you know they so make a solar panel you can use for recharging batteries these days...
hey since you were in Nam, ever rode in one of these:
Try living here - lots of business's won't ship here or if they do it's UPS or Fedex which is like getting robbed.

when we marched into Cambodia we went in without air cover because Nixon didn't have permission to fly over Cambodian air space.....and the NVA knew it. Some of the worst fighting i saw in Vietnam war wasn;t in Vietnam, Cambodia was a jungle brawl...

he said he had the same problem in Laos and along the laosian cambodia border, i remember him saying that , other than pickup pilots, they would also move weapons into laos too...for them...he also said the NVA, and the Cambodia wouldn't even thing of crossing the border cause the order from the government at the time was shot to kill if any crossed the borders. Alot of weird shit happened over there gotta say....
ah I forgot that fox also makes dirt bike clothes. 80mph is a little faster than I want to go on two wheels.
Since I'm not driving anymore I've been considering an ebike for puttering around the neighborhood. That big basket on yours would be perfect for bringing my dog along. I've been looking at the daymak escooter that I can bring inside. Anything left outside will be stolen.. not sure if it's a good one or not, but it's red!
Sunni had her scooter stolen:

Can you lock it up securely while you're in a store?
