Default need help to find good motor mount for Schwinn Windwood

Hi Guys and Gals

Well this is the third time I am try to post, every time I hit the spell check on my browser I lose all I just inputed in the post, so I am not going to do that any more, you will just have to put up with bad spelling.

To tell you a little about myself. Well less then two weeks ago my car went missing and I don't think I will see it again. I don't have enough money to get another just yet, I had enough to get a bike and a motor kit. I bought motor from (boygofast) on ebay and forgot to make sure it had the adapter mount for the big tube in front. My qustion is what is the best way to find the mount I need for my Schwinn windwood?

I have never put a motor kit on a bike befor, so I can use all the help your group will give me.


I saw a clam shell sprokit mount for a coaster bike on ebay is it as good as the guy is saying it is?

Will check back in a couple of hours

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Welcome to the forum. Lots of guys here made their own from a muffler clamp. That would seem to me to be the easiest way to do it, but others will be along to give you better advice I'm sure. I just wanted to say welcome and ask anything you want while installing people here are very helpful.

Welcome to the forum, Glad you could join us

The same thing happens to me using the spell check, I gave up. As any member here could tell you my spelling is terrible. Nobody has ever told me anything about my spelling but they are all so kind here

I have no ideal where to get the adapter for the mount, mine came with the kit. I'm sure some member may know where to get one.

The muffler clamp seem's to be the best way to go. I used the adapter and drilled a hole in my frame. I was sooo excited to get my bike going I did not want to take the time to go to the part's store. I still would not recommend it. But I have been riding for 5 years and have had no problem's.

Here are some pic's of what other member's have done. The first one is the muffler clamp, second seems to be a adapter someone made, and the third is the adapter that should come with a kit.

Maybe someone with the muffler clamp can give you a part number.

oooppss, I have seem to have lost one of the pics

Hey, the second picture is mine. I was trying to find that picture. I think if I was going to do it again though I would go with the clamp. I tried a kind of a funny clamp when I first put the engine on and it didn't work real good. I kept breaking rear engine studs from the vibration. After drilling it I've had no more trouble. It works real good..................
