1985 Honda Spree; Rear Wheel Lockup (not able to rotate)

Hi all,
My dad was riding my honda spree. He was coming up on a stop sign. He was slowing down for it. Suddenly, the rear wheel of my spree suddenly locked up. This wheel is unable to turn at all. We had to lift it to move it.

Our theory is that potentially there's some transmission lubricant that ...

1985 Spree lurched after going up hill

Hi all, I have a 1985 Spree.
I have the SSS speed pulley installed.
I was flooring it up a hill.
For some reason, it eventually sounded like it was dying.
I pulled off to the side, then tried to get going again. It would lurch (like go, then lurch).
Any tips?
Could this potentially be a gear thing ...

2. With the ...

2. Where to buy/cost?
3. Would any other parts need to be upgraded?
Thanks again for your help in advance!
