Well, this is an...interesting build. Apparently it’ll do “speed 65.”
As the ad says:
2019 mongoos bike 10 horce power.all gas and strate throttle no clutch.this bike is custom made and it also pop wheelis .its very fun on street and dirt.it have a alarm also.
I’m very curious how that alarm works. I’m very curious about a lot of things, like what this guy was drinking when he decided to build this thing, and what he was drinking when he did a “wheeli” on it, and what he was drinking when he wrote the post. My guesses are, respectively: Keystone Light, Mad Dog 20/20, and Listerine, but I’d be interested to hear yours.
ETA: It seems like it might be relevant, in case you don’t click through to the ad: he’s asking $1300 for this deathtrap.

Holy shit that’s scary. I’m guessing it has a centrifugal clutch?? Also it has cantilever brakes. No thank you.

I bet they drank a bottle of Nyquill too.

v-brakes, but yes. any kind of rim brake is fully insufficient for that.

is it me, or does the down tube look like a piece of exhaust?
i like that they also painted the fork stanchions. that’ll do wonders for what’s left of your seals

In this case I don’t think that fork was doing much anyway...

V -brakes are a type of cantilever brake , they are just side-pull rather than center-pull.

This looks designed to kill the operator and do it loudly.

2 - Four Loko

That’s not a Keystone Light fueled creation, that was brought into this world by Everclear.

Not one but TWO bent combination wrenches repurposed as upper motor mounts!!!
Really wish there was a drive side pic to see what he and his methamphetamine were able to blaze up on the other side.

I want to know what a singular “mongoo” is. I also want to know what happened to the donor lawn mower.

Loudly, and with a total lack of dignity.

Yeah a healthy serving of insult with your injury.

Remember the death kart? This was built by that guy's brother.

I’m going with Camo Black Ice, I once drank one of this and then fell on black ice, it was very on the nose, although I didn’t in fact fall on my nose.

I want to hear more about this alarm. Does it emit just a noise, or will it also unintentionally spark and/or explode?

Well, if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing right...
