I don't know, it looks like there's a lot to be removed or modified to work on a bike, space being limited on many frames.

Might be a bit easier to work with, don't know enough about either to really say

I had seen a Zuma motor for sale on craigslist and been tempted myself.
Two things about the GY6 will make it very challenging. It is wider than a kit motor. It will be difficult to retain a system for pedaling. The second problem is that the output shaft from that CVT is actually the rear wheel axle. It will be difficult to trim it off.
I think it can be done, but it will require a total chop and weld job in the bike frame.
