Lifan 162f compatible frame?

[triride]

Bought a Lifan 162f electric start engine last year but unable to source a suitable frame to accommodate this lump!
Anyone done similar build that can recommend a frame or us it just a case of modification?
Thanks, Pete

You need a road bike that's 21in tall, it will have a huge triangle in the frame. Just using my thoughts here, you need to verify. The taller seat tube bikes have the most room in the triangle.

You'll have to look for an older bike, some of the early mountain bikes have a bigger mounting area than any of the newer ones. Check with thrift shops and places like that. Or if you're handy with a welder, modify a new one.

Thanks guys!
Looking like I will have to modify a steel frame.
I have a large framed road bike and it wont fit in that triangle, same with mtb frame.
Will post pics when & if I start project!
Cheers, Pete
