An update: I sent another email to the guy to get more info, and according to him the motors have 4 mounting holes on the bottom in addition to the ones you can see on top. Looks like I can indeed mount this to a piece of channel over the rear tire. Sweet!

This pocket bike engine is nothing like a Morini

Morinis have internal gearing and can mount in the frame like a Grubee

Rack mount?
What size wheels?

Did you calculate your gearing?

These motors can bolt up to a friction drive or use them up front as a "scooterguy"
type mount

Someone said it was a Morini knockoff, so that's what I was going on.

Questions regarding my build, ask them in my build thread. This thread was for the purpose of presenting another motor for people.

also, i found out that it has a centrifugal clutch, so it will only require the kill switch and throttle.
It will require a jackshaft to get the gearing right unless you
are using it on a bike with tiny wheels like the pocket bikes it was made for

or you will have to have a humungous rear sprocket to get the gearing even close

did you calculate the gearing?

Why are these motors so hard to find? haven't Morini/clones been around forever?
Its like looking for hens teeth, and when you do find a site that has them, they are either out of stock or ridiculously expensive.
Wheres the hook up for Morini engines at a reasonable price? Its cheaper to buy a used Morini powered bike and just cannibalize the engine, any thoughts/help?
