here is the bike im working with. was given to me a few years ago.




main thing is where to mount the motor and how to mount the sprocket to the rear wheel. my first motorized bike project turned out well and im quite happy with it. now id like to try and do something a little harder.

im just stuck on what to do from here id like to keep the bike in the condition it is, without having to make any heavy mods to it.

I see only two options with that frame. 1) front engine mount...no front sprocket (roller drive)

or 2) rear engine mount (rack), either a roller drive or chain/belt drive.

Honestly I think there's really no practical way to mount a China motor to the frame without modding the frame. Really you might be better off trading for a different bike, unless your fabricating skills are of a Journeyman level.

I wouldn't attempt it but that's just me :p
