Well when you say that you have a 15 to 20 yo mongoose, are you talking a freestyle bmx type or is it a mountain bike? A pic would be helpful.

Either an over the tire front or back setup I would say is best. I had a GT dyno with a homelite weedeater motor on and it did 45 before I blew my rings.

Yeah once again, pain doing an in body motor. It would have to go above the back tire, you could set it up for the front tire to, but in my eyes that is ugly as h.e. double hockey sticks. If I were you I would build a full suspension in body bike using bits and pieces of both bikes. That is just what I would do though, not really what I'm advising you to do.

Weekend fun-

Don't post any more of that crap from YouTube...if it's not about motorized bikes, it doesn't belong here.

What type of motor are you wanting to put on it? A small chainsaw may be able to fit in the body, but there would be some serious mods most likely.

srry joe. but what do you mean by "full body supision" like morph them??
Click to expand...
Like hack them into bits and build your own bike from the ground up using the parts. I would basicaly build a small dirtbike with it, try to save the plastics and stuff for astetics but basicaly build your own frame.
