Haven't verified id this frame fits the 212, but it sure looks cool for a $120 wally world bike. It does have the frame for fitting a tank...

Hm.. I actually really like that! I always dug the worksman like frames with the "space" where you'd put the gastank going all the way to the seatpost. I'll definitely consider that.Thanks
And I would do whatever it takes to beef up the back dresser fender enough to keep it on with a motor. It just looks too cool!
Instead of buying a new, china-made, and in my opinion, junk, bicycle, you could check your local craigslist for vintage, american made frames or complete bikes.
You can find any number of double bar frames, schwinn dx and straightbars, roadmasters, colsons, Columbias, etc.
Frame alone will usually sell for about 100, with complete bikes, depending on condition, can go 100 and up, just avoid the sellers who think their bikes are gold plated with diamonds for bearings.
There are a thousand vintage bike builds on this forum, with custom, in frame gas tanks that are a lot more stylish than any box store, cheap, mass produced bike you'll find at walmart.
Plus, a vintage bike was literally made for a motor and tank, since they were all modeled on motorcycles from the past.
If you have the skills (or the money for someone else to build it for you) you can convert the original tank to function as a real gas tank, or custom build one to look like the original.
Just say "NO!" to chinese bikes...
