So recently I build a 4 stroke motorized bike. I got the Felt Faker engine from BikeBerry, there’s just one issue with this frame, it comes with one of those mounts that helps mount a 2 stroke engine kit.
the 4 stroke runs fine but I’m starting to like the idea of not having to pull start the thing, I’ve been looking at a BT80 kit that comes with the electric start and it’s sort of growing on me. I really want to build a bike that has everything a normal moped/scooter would have I.e Lights, Horn, turn signals all of that. Since the BT80 kit needs a battery anyways I’m thinking why not get it and then figure out how to hook up everything else, of course as of now I have no idea how I’m going to manage hooking up those said electronics, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. My main question here is, since this frame comes with that little post that helps mount the standard 2 stroke kits, would a BT80 kit fit on it? It looks like the engine is a bit bigger than the standard 2 stroke kit so I’m not sure I’ll fit.
and a follow up question, if it won’t fit, would cutting that post off be a good idea? Would it weaken the frame?
