Engine Kit Comparison

some of the sites look sketchy

Correction...Ive found A LOT of the sites look to be sketchy...lol...You will see in the forums an area that refers to Dealers Sites and our customer interactions, praises, or complaints about them...DAMIEN

Dealer Reviews

Reviews and ratings of all the motorized bicycle engine kit dealers and parts suppliers that we know of.

motoredbikes.com

As a PS here, Bikeberry does a lot of over hyping their products such as BBR...(BikeBerryRacing)...I will buy things like my mags from them or a carbie etc but if ever in doubt, just ask here on the forums.

What brand and type of bike frame are you intending to use with this motor???...DAMIEN

Well, I was totally thinking of making the entire frame from scratch except for the steer tube, which I was going to scab off another bike.......oh wait! you weren't talking to me.

The link below will show you what im using...Hyper Bike Company Beach Cruiser...I like their frame for its sturdiness and appears better built than either the more common Huffy's or Kent's...Cheap enough too...The bike sells for 118.00 at Walmart, that is when its in stock...lol...This Covid thing has attracted a lot of people to bikes and its like pulling teeth to even find bikes, parts or accessories...lol...Just keep looking and trying but this one has enough room for the motor, etc...DAMIEN

Ps...others should chime in as well for frames...some are more expensive of course...I just like to suggest common sense, low cost builds for the average guy...I build them the same way...stock engines and then modify with things like Mag wheels, disk brakes etc...I didnt do it all at once but as i could afford to on Social Security retirement of course...lol...DAMIEN

Here are the 2 schwinns and the free spirit

The Free Spirit would work if you know how to weld.

Really? It looked like I would have to cut the tubing, the style I was looking for was a cafe racer anyway, and tips?

Really???...You just replied as if you were the same person that posted the pictures, "Classickswagger",...are you one and the same person "ClassyDaley"???
If not, Please do not HiJack Classickswagger's thread as i was not aware that he is looking for a "cafe racer"and was also being asked if he had welding skills...It is inappropriate in this forum to HiJack someone elses thread but much better to introduce your own thread postings perhaps under the subject heading "Cafe Racers" or whatever topic you would choose...I did notice that you did indeed start your own thread on the subject of "Classic Racers"...thank you...DAMIEN
