my first rat rod bike i started when i was 9.(now 15) i found a 70s girls bike 20in with a banana seat and apes. my dad and i had seen a 80cc bicycle engine and thought this little bike would be perfect for me.
cut the middle tube and flipped it to make it look like a sting ray. and slapped that 80 in there the first time we rode it the rear wheel got the spokes ripped out. still have it. siting in the shop and still working on it.

when i was 9.

That looks sweet, but I wouldn't recommend putting front pegs on, for cornering reasons.

With that small sprocket and a 60 lb kid your top speed will be around 40mph. You must have good blue cross or heavy duty brakes.
im 150 now and dont really fit on it. no brakes. its top speed on flat ground was 35. im going to end up putting front brakes on soon.
