Motobecane 500ht + CY460R + SBP freewheel

Well. Very well on smooth roads. When I moved from flat land paradise to pot hole hell it didn't hold up but it could be over engineered to handle it. That wheel made the build happen. Its an ezip electric converted to gas very simply. I have the hub and sprocket still but the hoop is trash, the 1/4" mount plate was twisted!, 5:1 reduction gears eaten and got trashed right after the failure out of anger.
 
Well now iv seen engines mounted everywhere (handle bars, center of frame, back rack, front rack, trailer)
But never a axle mount. hows that work in your personal opinion?

How'd you like my bike smoking the fastest Goped on the track! ;) he was coming fast though he did catch me at the end of the run. He had a fully modded 460 making probably 8+HP in my defense though lol.
 
Engine has arrived. I got the low rpm clutch springs and installed them. I haven't mounted this motor from the bottom yet, and apon inspection I see that the bottom mount holes are 5mm not 6mm like I had hoped :( well its not that bad I can use 5m bolts and the bolt will be the weak point to save the motor case from breaking if anything were to happen. The bottom mounts aren't even so some spacers on the clutch side will be needed. With some extra bolts and spacers, a few well placed drill holes and some chain making Ill be riding. When all the parts get here...
 
But beware the 460 is notorious for breaking clutch springs. Keep a set with u and the tool that comes with the engine if u use #27 torx bolts to attach the trans/clutch housing. The tool it comes with is invaluable. Loctite is our friend!
 
Looks like the same motor I got. A 49 cc so called racing pocket bike motor every thing sounds the same but mine is 3 to 4 hp. So your motor is off a scooter? The pocket bike motors go up to like 15 hp but that cost a lot more. And I have heard of pocket bikes and scooters doing over 80kmh

Yes this engine is used on the stock goped scooters. It is not a pocket bike motor. They are easily upgraded and plentiful. The motor on my axle mount in the pic is a g43 " the early big bore goped motor " the 460 is more powerful but the g43 is nearly bullet proof.
