I just bought a WCC bike like yours, and would like to put a motor in it (wondering what is best). I know almost nothing about bicycles, but I know lots about motorcycles. Just built a full size chopper with a 107 S&S motor and a yr ago rode it a 1000 miles in a day and a half back from Sturgis. So I ought to be able to motorize this WCC bike.
Mind if I take lessons from you guys?
Guess I need to introduce myself (will right after this post)
my buddy (outlawchopper) doesnt have net right now so allow me to tell you the nightmare which we had to go thru to get his up and running.
first off the cheapest engine kit we could come up with was an 80cc black slant head from boygofast. however,they shipped the wrong engine,we received a standard 80cc silver engine kit and we didnt have time to argue and fuss about it,we just had to make due. i dont have chopper's permission to release photos at this time but i can tell you right now,if you are doing this on a budget and cant afford custom machined parts your going to have to design and weld up a custom motor mount, either cut the crank and weld an extension on it to clear the engine or hope a 3 peice crank will be wide enough to clear the engine. also for the chain to clear the frame and bulbous tire on this bike was a miracle of trial and error, we still have yet to perfect it,but it works well enough for now. we had to ditch the coaster brake hub and rim cause the stock spokes wont accept the 9 bolt thru the clam shell adapter also the coaster brake is in the way even after heavily modifying it. we used a freewheel and made custom brakes.
currently i dont know of anyone who has custom machined parts available to make the engine install any easier but you might want to contact creative engineering
MANIC Mechanic Parts.htm he might have something available or can make something.good luck.
