Anyone have pics of a motorized BMX build?

JustBurn · Jul 10, 2008

I have a BMX bike that i plan to motorize.... so far it looks like my only option would be a friction drive, but if anyone has any pictures of a completed bmx or project i'd love to see it.

I've seen ONE online and it was awesome, with the motor mounted under the frame like on a REAL moped.... I am going to try to copy that on my NEXT build, but for now i don't want to cut and weld on this frame...

So friction drive BMX? or any frame mounted 20" tire bikes? thanks in advance! Justin

Ahhh Yes, now I remember....I believe Kelly posted that at a bike show. That's the one with the Honda mini-bike...I'll search for it when I have time

Here's my bike, I'm afraid it only LOOKS like a BMX bike though.
It's actually a 26" mountain bike frame with some BMX handlebars...but I'm 6'5" so it fits ME like a BMX (^)

Mine is kind of like that. A "medium" frame mountain bike with 26" wheels..it really feels more like a bmx than a mountain bike, it's pretty small. If I put the seat all the way down, my knees are in my chest while pedalling. still has the normal handlebars though.

Kinda looks like a generic WallyWorld I built, except it was 24".

hello everyone how are ya? My name is Wes and im a support worker for young adults.

I am currently involved in a project with one of the young lads at the care home in building a moto/bmx using a motor from a mini moto.

I'm just writing to ask any of you guys for ideas and advice in what we are doing, we have the bmx frame and just need to fit the engine so its inline with where we are going to weld the back sprocket. We have also fitted the rev cable.
If you could send me any ideas on our project we would be most appreciative.

Im also on facebook if you wanted to add me

Cheers, wes

I had to cut the top of my frame to fit the motor. you'll need to weld on brackets too, its gonna be a really tight fit.
