I’m in favor of rat bikes!

[Superman1984]

Hey Superman 1984, I hope you can get your rat bikes and customs off the ground soon! I do believe the bicycle industry is going to heat up and it won't be a fad like it has been in the past. People are really beginning to see the benefits of bicycling for work and not just play. Especially with the electric bike capabilities.

Yeah I'd love to have a few electric customs; Always wanted a 750 - 1,000 watt mid drive system on somethin' 1940-1958 straight bar, stretched low long & Rat Rod to haul ass like a board tracker
You know it'd pull all the attention like " WTF Is That"

Hell I think some these bikes here in the Rat Thread would be awesome candidates for a faux patina electric system

Stuff like this is Always Cool; Even if you're Not a Rat Fan You would be after a Ride Buahahaha

Absolutely agree. I think there is a place for classic, vintage and rat bikes in bicycledom. I myself like all three. I think it comes from my 47 years of classic and vintage auto, truck and van obsession. I got involved in the classic and vintage bikes kind of late in life but hey, its a blast.

Someday I intend on doing a modern box store Huffy in that fashion but with steel; Something like this

Of course I'm going to do some bent forks to get it low down front & maybe dangerously low so the crank becomes the kickstand

I mean I'll do a lot more of my own crazy ideas to it but it'll be Low Rider-Rat Rod

OMG, that looks like my fence
