ZBOX MOTOR FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

1) The 2-stroke are going to be more maintenance then the 4-stroke. The two stroke are lighter and look cool. With the 4-stroke you do not have to mix oil with fuel, but you will have to do change oil changes.

2) I like the chain drive...I've never used a friction drive so I can't really say much about it.

3) I don't know where you are from?? I don't think most states will allow MB's on the sidewalk...I don't like it anyway!

4) Well first be sure a kit will fit your bicycle. There is the center mount 2 & 4 strokes. Then you have the rear mount chain, belt, or friction drive. If a motor will not fit on your bike, your best bet is with a rear mount. Here is a link to measure your frame..http://motorbicycling.com/f3/what-kind-bike-would-you-recommend-510.html

Others should add there two cents

if you are comfortable tinkering with small engines, the chinese kits aren't a bad choice. on the other hand if you are not mechanically inclined, I recommend one of the more expensive 4-stroke motors.
just my own thoughts on the subject

sooner or later you will have to learn how to mechanic on things don't be afraid to try you can't tear it up too bad,well mabe you can but you have all of us here to help you get it going and if you live close to a member that IS mechanical minded then you are going to be in tall cotton.
god luck

All I can say is if yours looks like this, you may be a masochist. If you built this for another then you are a sadist.

I'm going with a simple rear friction drive, having been trashed by the 66cc assembly problems. The kit should come with a bottle of Valium.

Good luck!
