Guys
i'm new to this forum and to the whole idea of motorized bikes.
I have this MTB

I wanted to fit the 80cc motor kit, but it is obvious that it doesn't fit.
correct me if i'm wrong!
any ideas?
what are my options?
thanx in advance
 
It's true. You'll never get an internal combustion engine in that frame.

There are electric motors available where the motor itself is built into the wheel hub. That could fit. They're fairly popular. But they do have drawbacks.

You could also sell that bike and use the money to buy one with a more traditional frame. Then you could mount an 80 cc, 2 cycle engine.
 
Send pictures of your bike to David Staton and he could probably design you a rear rack. It would have to attach to the seat seat stays. Of courses that means your engine will be moving around. Other than that you could get solid forks and do a front friction drive setup. No real good options using gas. The biggest with an electric is where to put the battery.
 
Agreed. You need to go rack mount engine or electric with that backbone frame. If you go electric, some LiPo batteriest could be hung from the top tube. SLA bricks would have to go on the rear rack.
