It resembles a clone of a Honda engine found on an XL 125-175cc. It would be difficult to mount in a bicycle frame.

Personally I think there's too much torque, vibration and power for most bicycle frames. It would be fun while it lasted though.

If its a 50cc, the torque and vibration won't be too bad on a quality frame, it will just be a challenge to make it fit, especially if you want to keep pedals.

Looks like great potential to me!

Weld some mounting brackets onto the bike frame, resolve any pedal clearance issues, and be prepared to run a jackshaft to get the chain run aligned.

Good luck!
Pls post pics!!!!
