Very expensive would not trust 16hp on an aluminum chinese frame. It seems the ktm clone with mounts might be a simpler alternitive, I don't know if there's any room for pedal drivetrain. I stumbled across a video of a kid riding a bike with the ktm clone and he's zooming I assume the bottom end is way more stout than the machining/ metalurgy on these bicycle kit motors.
