Yea Southern California has some of the best weather. I purchased a Nakto bike , which fell apart within a month, they never responded to me with the warranty stuff so I decided to start from scratch just keeping the frame, starting with a 1000 watt motor kit and went from there. I built some custom features like led rear tail light and front head light also some extremely loud air horns(which you increasingly need in California) that all use a 12 volt battery system. Topped of with some cool camo paint that the US army used in the early 1920s.
