Here is the first picture of my custom "MagicFlyer".
Not quite finished...will have an electric hub motor as well.
35+ mph...100+ mpg
Logo is "WINGS" with "Magic" overlay.
Almost finished!
Not bad for an "old" guy!
(that's not me...I'm taking picture)

Wrong, my friend. Due to my balance issues, after being paralized, I needed it low and back.
But, thanks for noticing.

5 years ago Friday, I experienced the effects of a motorcycle wreck of 20 yrs. ago.
Arthritis grew around my spinal cord..turned my head...down I went.
Just 1 more of life's growing experiences.

Wow.I admire youre ingunuity.
Just curious as to the law regarding its use.Here in the uk if you add a motor to a push bike it becomes a moped and therefore needs to pass a daytime(as no lights) road complience test be registered and taxed.The user would have to be atleast 16 pass their CBT and get insurance.Unless used on private land only of course.

Oooo nasty with the bike smash.i do enjoy a blast around the countryside ive been lucky to only have one lowside crash slid for about 40ft so pleased i wear leathers.

As long as it has working pedals. You don't need a license or anything. Big plus for Newport, you can drive around the long lines of traffic.

Pretty awesome, fantastic job!

What kind of bike did you have before the accident?

I've always been partial to Kawasaki Vulcan 900's.

It will have a front hub electric motor as well. I am currently working on the solar panel, battery, controller setup.
As far is my age goes, you are only as young as you feel. And I don't feel a day over 135.

Seeing as how your duck loves my sea-gal, I think we can arrange something!

You'd be surprised what a small engine can do.

But whatever floats your boat. :)

The "MagicFlyer" made her maiden flight today. Perfect day. Perfect scenery.
Going from not being able to touch my nose to being able to walk again was a wonderful feeling.
Today, I felt free again. I feel 116 again!

(by the way she "flew" at 40 mph)

Congrats! :)

Wait, it's a bike, how can it let you walk?

40 miles an hour! That's awesome! :) You should sell those things!

No, RADAR I had to learn to walk before I could ride. The bike was a long term goal. Proof that with a positive attitude and hard work anything can be accomplished. The bike provided inspiration.

Oh and by the way have you had any luck solving my [e]nigma?
Another little hint for you, RADAR, remember an [e]nigma is "mystery wrapped in a riddle".

Oh, i thought the bike was purely motorized. I thought the working pedals were for legal reasons, not for actual use. :) That's really cool, tho! :) have you tried riding a bike before this? How long did it take to get the hang of it again?

I tried one last fall and felt I was getting close to being ready. So the project started. Pedal it a couple of times, let out the clutch, engine starts & off you go. Low center of gravity & centrifical force makes it very stable. Legally, you're only supposed to have 49cc. Legally. sssssshhhhhhh.........

What happened in the fall?

Lol, how big is yours, and whats the penalty for getting caught? And the more important question, can it go offroad to get away from cops trying to GIVE you that penalty? ;)
