Womens Bike MB Kit

I built one on a 24" schwinn and it worked fine with the addition of a broomstick on top to hold the gas tank.

I forced a motor into a schwinn 24" girlie bike. Just had to put a broomstick on the top to hold the gas tank

Puleeze! Make that 'step through' bike. Some of us may be geezers, but we still have our pride, you know. Ha! That broomstick model sounds perfect for Halloween. Have a picture?

SilverBear.. i just ordered a engine kit and i want to install it on my step thru bike. BUT i am a little confused on how to mount the engine and I saw in a earlier post you offered to give more details on how to do that, any chance you could help me out with some details on installing everything? Thanks so much!

I'll give what help I can. First off, what is the bike? Not all bikes will accept an engine, men's or women's. When you are able to, please send a picture. Once we know what the bike is then we can go from there. Do you have some familiarity with wrenches, screwdrivers and such or is all this new to you? (Partly I don't want to over explain what you already know or on the other hand assume you know how to do something when actually you don't.) Our goal is to put that engine on a bike and for you to take off riding on it. You can be pretty sure it is going to take more than a couple of hours as some of the sellers claim. Do you have any friends who can help you if need be?Sometimes two heads are better than one and four hands is good, too. What is the engine kit?
What I don't know, others will. If we all work together you'll be riding around with a smile on your face pretty soon!

Your picture came through fine, however I don't want to hijack this thread so let's start a new one. Post it under "general discussion" and give another brief introduction of who you are and that you want some help in setting up a HT motor. Post the picture again under this new thread which will be yours. That way we won't be taking over somebody else's thread, OK? Also, it will open your build up to many more readers who will have an opportunity to make suggestions. I will contribute what I know and others will add their own thoughts. Together we'll guide you through the install. As soon as your new thread appears I'll post photos of two old Schwinn step through models so you will have some idea of what yours will look like.
