Help identify make/model of 2-Stroke engine

I don't think the bike and engine were sold together, that engine probably came as an add on to any bike. What is the drive system, two gears, or two sprockets and a chain? The hub and/or wheel might have been part of the package.

Cool bike. I've never seen anything like it except for a Briggs and Stratton motor wheel . I'm looking forward to seeing it when you've put it all back together.

Looks like it might be a kit with wheel to add to a bike, not sure. It is way cool though. Funny can't come up with anything on search.

I had this same thought. The engine and wheel combo look like an aftermarket combination designed to be installed on any bicycle to convert it to powered use. Basically a 2 stroke version of a modern eBike hub motor wheel kit.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I'm pretty sure, as you have pointed out, that the motor/rear wheel has been added to an existing bicycle. The drive is a single sprocket, on the rear wheel, without any form of gears. I will take the motor to a local small engine repairer and see if it can be repaired as it will definitely need a new piston, as I believe the previous owner ran it without correct oil mix in the fuel. In the meantime I will continue to restore the bike frame. I'll post some photos of the finished bike and motor (provided the motor is repairable), and can't wait to take it for a spin.
