I have not Done full research on this idea yet, but I was thinking of taking a beach cruiser, if possible, switching out the wheels for those of a stingray chopper and mounting a vertical 100cc 4 spd manual lifan engine on it. It would deffinatley be an expensive build but would ultimately an awesome one. Tell me your thoughts on it.

Most people who have built m-bikes with bigger engines say that no bicycle rear hubs don't hold up long. .... You might think that 100cc's isn't that big, but it will be turning a multi-speed gearbox.

You are going to have to bend the h*ll out of the frame to get the rear OCC
wheel to fit. You might consider adding a motorcycle swing arm to swing from the point of the rear bike dropouts.

Then you would have excess chain angle would be a worry about.

Best of luck.
