I've decided to keep 50 mm for now. In winter, I will think whether I need to increase the stroke. But overall, there is potential.

The protection I received yesterday does not match the frame mounting points well - using it as a sample would be a bad idea. I think it would be better to provide an assembled bike;
I've assembled my red rocket!
The engine is running - the son drove a little in the yard. You can't go far yet - I bought a shock with the wrong fastening and now I'll wait for a new body from e-bay. This delays operation for 3 weeks((But I am pleased that the project is working.
