is there a Beach Cruiser style frame that's specifically made for Motorized bikes?

[LewieBike]

I just wanted to add: I'm not aware of all of the models of Schwinn's bikes. But, IIRC the Schwinn Stingray was exclusively a kid's 20" wheel sized bicycle, unless there's some adult sized 1940~50's Schwinn Stingray I'm unfamiliar with.

You'd be really hard pressed to get a CG engine squeezed into the 1960's kid's bike Stingray frame.

The 1940's and 50's Schwinn cruisers in 26" wheel sizes were generally the Spitfires, Autocycles and Phantoms and you can pay over $4000 for a pristine example. Not something you can just pick up at a garage sale for a $100. They were hard to find in good shape even back in the 1980's for garage sale prices.

Jamis makes the BOSS in a 7 speed Comfort Cruiser that makes a good build. Here is one that I had. I’m selling the motor and friction drive if any one is interested? Bike is not included. Just the Mitsubishi TLE 43 and the Staton Friction drive. Would separate the two as well if anyone is just interested in just the motor or just the friction drive.

There's a for sale section. You'll likely get more interest if you post on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace though. Be sure to include the drive roller size on the staton kit.

Yeah, I'll be honest i'm not familiar with bike history/models.

Basically I mean does anyone create a motorized-ready frame that resembles this style of cruisers.

like I planned to buy 2-3 of the OCC-Style Stingray frames to save as back ups incase my current one ever breaks since I know they don't make them anymore. I was just wondering if there was a cruiser style frame that's already good for a long-lasting motorized bike set up. I only ride on the street, so it doesn't need to withstand large abuse, but my goal was to try and get something that can last for several years if not my lifetime.

The Hyper frame.

The best bike I have found is the hyper cruiser from Walmart, but it needs it's wheels upgraded.

Here is a picture of Gordy's Hyper Beach Cruiser as well as a Picture of mine, we both opted to go with different styles of what we wanted our bikes to look like though...lol...Mine has been on the road for 5 years now...Gordy's has been around for about a year.

My Hyper: As of 4-23-25.

Be aware that those are EXACTLY the very reasons why Gordy and myself decided to use the Hyper Beach Cruiser bike frame as our base to build upon.

And this is the tutorial a wrote a few years back to show everyone how I did mine complete with all the links to find the same parts I used at the actual sires to purchase them from that will also have the current prices of everything.

Whats the best bike for a 2 stroke?

Were miles away, but I bet our side of the railroad tracks are pretty similar. Before I found cranbrook in trash, I picked up a 74 schwinn world traveler & a 74-75 schwinn varsity people were throwing away, was going to build 1 of them, but long skinny front forks were scaring me. They can be...

Supposedly the hyper is well built. If you can find a Chicago Schwinn, those are boat anchors but quite possibly the best option. Heavy gage, mild still. Pre nikasil so that stock is pure 1010 A36, damn near wrought iron. It's very fatigue resistant.

Afaik not motor ready. Maybe someone does, but not that I've seen

The SBC Klunker is ok, if a little snug for any carb shenanigans, but the worksman/sportsman frames are the go. If i was scouring the facemarketbook then the Electra cruisers seem to have a bot of space and chunky design.

I used malvern star 28" wheel racer/hybrid frames and at about 50mph (downhill with the motor and a tailwind) i felt like i was holding onto cooked spaghetti with wheels and a handlebar... More excitement than i had bargains in a coupon book.

The felt beach cruiser frames are what the faker frames are based on... Hence the name- felt faker.

Felt makes the best looking and functioning cruiser frame if your looking to mount the engine in the frame. They make a series of these frames with different names but same style frame. The top tube bar can be converted into a gas tank as well. Here is a picture of one that is called the "Chief"......

Expensive bikes though

Found one on one of the online marketplaces for $150. He said he would take $100.
