can it be done?

[Peugeot/citroen boy]

is it possible or has any one mounted a polini 50cc engine to a biycle?

I have recently accuired a polini gp5 engine withbore of 36 mm and a stroke of 39,2 mm.Crankcase and cylinder are in light- alloy.

It has direct reed valve admission in the crankcase.
The power is of about 14hp.

The engine is equipped with a PHBG 15 "Dell'Orto" carburettor. .

Im not really sure how i would mount it yet. I will probably have to buy a welder to make up some mounts?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

It can and has been done. A member named Easy Rider has done 2 bikes with those engines. Send him a PM for details.
