The brakes aren’t that good? What the fuck TFR were you riding? I’ve ridden something like 40 mopeds, of different brands, and Kinetics have the best stock brakes out of all of them, even my 08 Tomos. I think whatever TFR you rode was a POS. You live in Portland, come ride my TFR whenever. There’s 30,000 other things wrong with it, but the brakes are amazing.
Also, they’re belt driven, not chain driven, so the peddle chain (the only chain on the bike) shouldn’t have anything to do with anything.
As for the shakiness, there isn’t much you can do except tighten everything down (use locktight) and hope for the best. A lot of the shakiness is prolly coming from the point in the front where the frame connects to the subframe. This is a common problem, and actually that point breaks quite often (was well as other points on the Kinetic subframe). The best thing that I can recommend is to find someone who can weld, and have them secure everything so there’s no chance of cracking. A good welder should be able to deduce on their own where the pot metal on that frame is scary.
Alternate plan would be to get a vespa subframe, and use that. Italian crap metal kicks the shit out of Indian crap metal any day.
