I'm ordering the grubee 66/80cc engine kit this Wednesday for my Schwinn HavenCruiser. My question is do I order the optional motor mount for the thicker down tube or will the one that comes with the kit be enough. If possible I dont want to drill into the frame.
Thank you.

Here's some good reading for you on how others have delt with a fat down tube.
The options are endless and limited only by your imagination and fabrication skills.

I believe some, if not most of the newer kits are making provisions for cruiser, fat tube bikes. Good luck. Let us know what you come up with.

The BGF RB80 kit I just installed had a mount for larger tubes included, but it was the mount where you drill through the frame. I went with the SBP front mount instead. For $15, I got a sturdier mount and gave my frame one less opportunity to crack on me while I am at speed.
