Any one ever consider using something like this engine?

It comes from canada but looks like it might work and it's four stroke.

What frame would fit with the fewest mods? A Y frame maybe?

that would haul. Do you know the width? <9" and I would buy one now

I just sent them an e-mail for the dimentions. Maybe they will tell us the good news and we ca really have a nice engine for these bikes.
I'll let you know what they say. More later.

That motor won't readilly fit in a bike frame it's a horizontal cyl that is too long. If you change the positioning you have to modify the oil syphon in the sump. most bikes that use this motor hang it from a top tube frame. It probably weighs 60-75lbs and has too much hp (i'm guessing at least 7 or 8 hp) for a bicycle.

It would work for a rack mount. Just get it mounted to a plate and do like the Titan with the jack shaft underneath to link up that end sprocket to the drive wheel.
It would most definitely haul and keep up with the 110 scooters. In fact it would haul enough to get you in some trouble most definitely.
I question the battery though. Whatever battery you hook up will that engine keep it charged?
Imagine the possibilities. Lights,turn signals.

I can probably fit that on my trike right now if I had it.

I just read 7.5 hp. Also you'd need to strap a battery on your bike as well unless you run a battery eliminator. How much weight do you really want to put on a bike. I suggest you get a motorcycle. I'm not being a smart alic, I just mean that I love riding a 1000cc touring bike as well as a 250 street bike and my motorbicycle but all are fun for different reasons and on different levels. My personal opinion is that 75cc's is about the max that any bike frame can safely handle.

That motor is actually 7.5hp, the china girl chengines are not as powerful as claimed (not that I've tested one but drawing from experience). It is pretty standard engineering where humans are concerned for equipment to be able to handle 1.5 times the amount they are rated for. Example if a lift chain is rated for 1000 lbs then it will actually lift 1500 w/o fatigue; a ladder rated for 250 will handle 375 etc. An athlete can generate 1.4hp in bursts and maintain maybe .8 hp for extended periods. So clearly we are already pushing the fatigue limits. I just don't want anyone hurt, so be careful!

Well said.
