Mounting TechniquesEvery frame is different. Share and ask questions about mounting your motorized bicycle engine kit to your bicycle frame or bicycle rack
Speaking of mounting techniques...does anyone know the size of the down tube and the seat tube for a Schwinn Landmark? I just bought two of them and ran into the oversized tubing issue on my very first build. I think the engine mount designed by Creative Engineering is the way to go but I need the tube sizes and I don't have anything at home to do that with any accuracy.
I know the down tube is 1.5", because I'm using a 1.5" muffler clamp with my front mount, and it fits perfectly. Seat tube is regular size, the rear mount with the kit fits it, so that's ... 1.25"? I think?
Since I posted that question I did measure the diameters myself and had my wife verify.
Downtube - 1.511
Seatpost - 1.19
I ordered two motor mounts from a shop in Tampa that does this type of work almost four weeks ago. No delivery yet and they won't return phone calls. Oh well, $75 bucks down the drain. I wanted the motor mounts they manufacture. They simply appear to be logically the wisest choice. I think I'll have to go with an alternative mount now.
