I haven't seen a 24. I have seen a board tracker with 20in wheels and really fat tires. It looked good.
hope someone will seen these thats what im trying to POST/BUILD just order my 66cc 2 stroke motor kit today im new to this but not engines and definitely not bikes i love bikes have a 24in cruiser its wal-mart bike I know there garbage and from china but so is the motor so whatever its my frrist build and work my up so hopefully in a few days ill see if can frankenstien a 24 inch BTR I got hopes if so ill pictures
YES I just turned my first bicycle,a 1954 schwinn 24 inch into motorized and it was a hellacious task for me. The mounting bars were too small to mount the engine and had mount pieces custom made by my machinist neighbor. I wish I could send you a pic but my computer is not at the time capable. People on the street are so complementary of it. It is worth your while to struggle through the project. Any questions contact me
Was the problem that the bars were just too small (smaller than normal) or that the newer engine kits are made for oversized tubing?
The few remaining kits I have in boxes are the "older" variety, with the "small" mounts.
To the OP- You may want to go to a 41T sprocket, or you may find your bike will be slightly under geared.
The Merkel isn't a 24" bike, it is a custom frame with 21" motorcycle rims and tires which are more like 26" bicycle tires.
