Would this be possible?

Hi there, im new to this forum... it looks amazing!! But i have a question - its probably pretty useless and lacking in common sense but dont ask dont get! I am now the legal age to ride a moped, but i would refuse to ride one because of cost. It costs waayyyy to much! But i do have a strimmer in the shed wich doesnt get used anymore. My question is would you be able to fit the engine from that to a mountain bike, and if so how? Its probably a no-goer from the start but im very short of money, need a job and live in an extremly rural area, so need to use things that wont cost money. Any help would be massivley appreciated!

Welcome to the forum. Lots of motorized bicycle enthusiasts here. Glad you joined us. I guess I don't know what a strimmer is so I can't help much................................

If you check out the bike contest in the first section I have a continuing saga about building a bike with a weed eater motor. It is very doable but does not have much power. My last entry pretty much give you the power options with it. weed whacker that runs more or less If you need some tips I'll try to help but I'm feeling my way along as well.
