I have Whizzers & an EZbike, so I was excited to help a friend put a 2 cycle kit on his bike. I had never done a 2 cycle so I thought it would be fun. Well you can see that the "fits most bikes" didn't apply here. We did get it done in one day by welding a new tube in the front & heating his cranks & moving them out 1 & 1/2 inches so they didn't hit the engine.

Actually.. 2 stroke kits do fit that style frame very well. Go to my web site, install instructions, and then on the last page, you will see how to do the front mount. The only part I see that will make it hard is the rope start. This makes the motor wider and will require a wider crank. Most 2 stroke kits do not have a rope start and a standard crank is wide enough. It may be that since you have the rope start and this makes the engine too wide for the crank, is why you wanted to mount the engine up high so that the crank will not hit it.. Is that the reason? If it were not for the rope start, this would be a fairly easy and standard install. Enjoy the ride..

He wanted it going right away & didn't want to wait for another set of cranks. My EZbike kit had pedals that hit & a friend bent them for me for free. The weld shop charged him $50.(ouch) to bend his. No matter how low we put the engine there was still quite a space in the front so another friend that welds, welded the front tube for free. I'll have to post a finished pic. The bike looks nice.

The front mount is always a problem on a cruiser style frame. I built a cruiser to sell this was how I fixed it. Your way should work great. As you can see without the pull starter the pedal clearance wasn't a problem.

I don't get it. Whats the problem?
Previous posters said that it will fit...but even if it doesn't, you did a fine job of adding a nice looking tube and solving the problem. You made the bike unique and added your custom fingerprint. Its special. I sure wish I had a welder and/or torches.
Ride with pride.
