motor mount flew apart

I am still testing my weed Whacker bike. Today I got about five miles when the motor frame just seemed to shake apart. I rebuilt it much sturdier and with locktite when I noticed that the friction wheel had worked itself loose. When it wobbled it just blew the motor mount apart.

So now I have redone it with locktite. I hope that helps but who knows. I also flattened out the drive wheel holder's back side to make it sit more secure. I'm not sure that will help any.

One thing I am going to do is change the way I work the friction clutch on this bike. Tomorrow I'm going to a hand pull cable and dump the brake lever cable. At least that is the plan for now
