Default Womens Bike MB Kit

okay....i have this old green (i dont know what brand) that is a womens bike....which means there is a bar that goes down unlike a mens bike....theres no way the motor would be able to fit on it without modifications.....but i was thinking of cutting that top bar so it wouldnt be there....would this make it too flimsy or unable to hold the weight and vibrations......thanks for your help...

well, the bar IS there of a reason you know. Add 19-25 lbs on that and who knows what would happen!

Why not just pick up a really nice used Mens bike on craigslist. They are on there all the time for $15 to $50. And I mean good chromoly framed bikes, with the good components.

you can probably get a new or used frame for less cost and effort than trying to adapt a women's frame for the purpose. why would you want to use one anyway?

Hi Luvehamr -,thats sweet, and for us ole geezers with hip problems that is an ideal build. I see the bracket on the front of the engine, how is it attached on the back side.
Thanks for the help
Hank
