OCC Stingray first time

This is my first motorbike build. I have a Schwinn Stingray single speed. I got the bike from a yard sale and the axle needed to be replaced. Since I can't find the axle by itself, I was forced to replace the whole hub. This is getting more and more expensive. The hub costs more than the bike did. I got a 50cc kit from Boy Go Fast, and I don't want to buy a mounting kit or exhaust mod or a sprocket adaptor. I know this is not recommended, but is it possible? Is there anybody who has done this?

sorry, but you need them. I tried to do a stingray, dosent work.
If i were you i would buy the adapters, or sell the stingray
heres a list of good bikes: The "Plug-and-Play" Bikes for 2-stroke china engines thread.

And i myself have ahd 5 attemts to find a bike for my 48cc, none worked,
I also advise you not to get a bike with a fat frame, or coaster brakes, and if you can before you get a bike take off the back tire and test the sprocket. Also, bring the bracket that come on the motor mount and lay it on the frame to see if it fits.

Good Luck!

this bike is also my first build, i studied alot on doing a bike like this before picking mine up off criagslist, and i was aware it wasn't gonna be just buying then engine kit and slapping it on. i just haven't had the money for all the parts which just to get it up and running at its cheapest with no extras is $125 for the engine kit, $48 for the engine mount and $59 for the sprocket and hub adapter which puts it over $200.but i think its gonna be a much nicer ride when its done than doing a mountain bike.hope you have better luck on this build.

Thanks guys I just bought the motor mount. The hub that I bought is not a stingray hub, but choppers US customer service told me it would work with a stingray wheel. Will I still need the sprocket/hub adaptor? What is the purpose of this adaptor?

yes,you will need the sprocket adapter cause the one in the engine kit won't work,id recommend taking a look here SPROCKET ADAPTER , just under 60 bucks and you'll get a top quality hub and sprocket.

edit, the purpose of the sprocket adapter is so the gear will line up with the engine sprocket

I am not sure what hub you are using, but on the stingray I built I just bolted the stock engine kit sprocket to the stingray hub..... worked great.

Sorry no pics my camera died.

ive had people here tell me i can"t use the one with the kit,if you got yours to work thats great! that will save me 60 bucks!

This is a link to the hub I ordered. (it will be here friday) Wide Hub - CB Low Flange BLK - Choppers U.S., LLC
So I won't have to buy the sprocket adaptor?

that looks like a coaster brake hub, i dont know.

On the instruction PDF file that BGF sent, it includes instructions on how to install the sprocket onto a coaster brake hub. Where did you get your kit from? I would consider just using the axle that comes with the hub if that was the only way to make this work.
