Hello. I've looked around on this forum but I didn't see any post with this direct question. I apologize if I missed it. I'm trying to find a 24" bike to put a motor on. The one I originally got has the space for the engine but won't fit to the correct angle and has some fender and frame in the way of the build. Can anyone here suggest the best frame I could buy? This is my first build, second try so I don't want to go all out until I know I can make it work.
What 24" bike should I get?

New Generation 24" Whizzer is rare that's why short guys put 24" wheels on 26" Whizzers
24" Whizzer frames was a limited production so Whizzer sold 26" bikes with 24" wheels for shorter riders

You mean this bike?Im 6‘6“ and ride my 20“ motorized bmx
I notice a substantial custom seat post height. We do what we have to do in order to ride comfortably. Like me considerably raising my handlebar height.

That's the cleanest deathtrap build I've seen in my life.
No. Measuring a 24" frame goes like this, measure the center of the chainring bracket to the back of the rear axel, should measure 17"to17"1/2
A 26" frame should measure 19" to 19"1/2 center of BB bracket to rear axel.
I'd rather have a 26"frame with 24" wheels, longer wheel base, better handling.
I have a true 24" frame whizzer with 24" wheels at when that 50 miles per rides pretty squirrely.

Go to about any bicycle repair book that are used by reputable bicycle shops and they'll tell you the frame size is determined by the length of the seat post tube. For example: a 20" frame means the seat post tube is 20" long. However, one can still have 20" frames with varying geometries amongst various bicycles.

What you're referring to there is frame geometry not frame size.

I'm curious why we can't answer to OP's original question.. a suggestion for a 24" frame?
I know engines can be installed on a 20" stingray so certainly there are 24" bikes out there that would work.
Wouldn't one of these be a good start?
