My first project...help

[Street shark]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum but I'm thankful I found it . I'm looking to make a motorized bike to drive to work during the summer , here is my original idea,. I have 0 experience, I was hoping y'all could let me know if u see any immediate issue I will have with installation and use.

Using this bike ...

And putting this kit on it.

I suggest aftermarket
Motormounts
Sprocket Adapter
Chain Tensioner
Hardware

Just starting to make day 1 awesome.

Motor mounts because of the crank position?
Sprocket adapter cuz of the spoke count?
Chain tensioner?
And where can I find these?
Do u have a decent priced two stroke u can recommend?

Motor mounts to increase the receptivity of the frame engine installation.

Sprocket adapter because you should not torque the spokes, you should torque the hub.

Tensioner because the stock ones flip the chain once and cause a misaligned depth of travel.

Hardware because stock is aluminum. Take your kit for a trip to the hardware store, it's easy and worth the reliability.

Okay will do but where can I find the aftermarket mount, sprocket and tensioner?

On the hub adapter it says 1 inch I do not know your bicycle hub you have to measure and order the right size for any part the links are good for the images but I can't guarantee compatibility without knowing all the aspects of the bicycle.

Totally source these as images, any retailer or however carries them and many are on eBay.

One more thing to consider. If you haven't bought the bike yet see if they have something similar with v brakes or even better a disc brake on the front forks. Going is great, but stopping is even better. Coaster breaks are not sufficient for motorized bikes. Good lookin bike though.

32 and 36 are a piece of cake. 48 is a nightmare I avoid at all costs. anything above 48 is well above my skill levels.
