Ahmed had wrecked the shit out of his 60cc whizzer. I replaced the front end, rebuilt the front hub with a solid axle instead of quick release (!), re-attached the clutch cam housing and added a lever with the correct amount of cable pull so the clutch would work, rebuilt the axles, tuned the carb, fixed the kill switch, replaced the broken throttle with an old Suzuki control, rebuilt the back hub so the brakes would work and the chain ring wouldn't rub on the brake arm, added a front brake (!), trued the wheels and generally tightened everything to spec w/loctite. My final verdict after the test: whizzers are fun but totally dangerous. I gave Ahmed an extra helmet and told him he wasn't allowed to crash anymore.
Cute!
