Cool!

So where do you ride it? How fast does it go? And how does it handle? Did you get the head tube angle/fork rake thing right?

Cool design. As you say, plenty of storage options.

Do you have an electric assist motor on it?

It has a certain "Mad Max" vibe going on. I like!

Around vegas is where i drive it and i think it probably does 35mph or so. It handles pretty sweet and yes i always have the head tube rake figured out. And its powered by a 99cc predator motor.
