Talking Crammed an 80cc onto my BMX!!!

New member here. I love this thing! I finished my build an about three days b/c there's no room on this bike. in the end everything fit perfectly, chains and all. Its great just cruising by the beach here in CT. I plan to swap to a 36t to make up for the small wheels though!

sexy time:

If you can you might think about welding some square stock where the frame is cut from the crown to the bottom tube. Would keep the crown from flexing but then I don't know.
Watch the boys with that motor so close! Later Tramp

Thanks for the tip saddle! I was thinking of just welding a triangle support on the corner of the frame and the seatpost tube thing. The motor is actually a good distance from the payload just gotta keep the WOT to a minimum and those knees apart ..i also added a kick stand and replaced my 2 missing bolts on the sprocket haha (did anyone notice?)

Nice! I bet that bike has great low end torque with that 20 inch tire. Good work on getting the motor to fit.
