I'm here looking for ideas. I will not pass my next driving test because of parkinson's. I can still balance a bike but I run out of energy real fast. So I'm thinking of adding an engine. Won't need power for speed, but I do weigh 215, will that be a problem? Anyway, I'm new and will value any help I can get from this forum. I don't know that it makes a difference but the bike i'd be converting is an old Specialized Rock Hopper. Thanks for having me.

Welcome to the forum, glad you joined us

I assume you are looking at the in frame 2-stroke? I am not familiar with your bike but you can find the measurements you will need in the link below
