I just got a skyhawk gt5 66cc and I wanted to know if this would be a good bike to put it on.

Or would a beach cruiser be better?
Did a quick search on it, Found some bad reviews on Amazon. Still couldn't find out if it was a steel or aluminum frame. I think steel is always better, but with a 4 stroke and less vibration than a 2 Stroke aluminum might be OK. Just make sure the motor will fit in the space allowed.
If it were me, (just MY opinion,) I would look around for a little better bike to start with. Like I said, I didn't see a lot of GOOD reviews on this bike. If ya don't mind rebuilding a bike then it could be alright. The reviews said the rims were weak and bent easy. Almost ANY bike can be made right with enough work, money, blood, sweat, ect.
My advice, Find a STEEL frame bike, (Mountain bike or cruiser, that's just a matter of preference,) with steel rims and at least 12 guage spokes.
Mountain bikes are just easier to build cause they already have front and rear brakes, While Cruisers usually only have coaster brakes and will need more and better brakes installed. I ride a Cruiser, (a Huffy Cranbrook,) But have been building motorized bikes for years and had all the parts I needed to do it right.
Hope this helps some,
