It looks easy enough, grab a larger cc shaft drive ATV rear and, then modify your swing arm to bolt on the rear end.
Keep in kind though that most ATV's have live axles in the rear, so when you turn on paved roads, the tires will be turning the same speed and cause them to fight each other.
The bike I'm building is not really for daily street use, more just for fun now and then.


This axle also looks to be a live axle because of the single rear brake. It had a differential, it would have brakes on each wheel.

Thanks for the link. I was also thinking of using a Rhino differential rear suspension. Like you not really for street, but for screwing around. Off road would also be an option. Sounds like fun, huh?
