welcome to the forum. what you want is a motor from a dealer that will take care of you. i am not sure about bad boy however i know dax has been taking good care of people. my understanding is the 48 cc was made for speed however the 70 cc is made for pull and strength and like you i am not as light as i would like to be so the 70 cc works real well for me. i ride myt motorized bicycle to and from work everyday and i went from filling my pickup a few times a week to once every 2 weeks. they pay for themselfs fast. glad to have you with us and hope you don't mind but i moved your post to introductions area.

that will be a great bike for your kit. i dont have any mechanical skills either so took me some time to get it all togather. nice part is you will learn alot just installing it and it feels good when it starts

Hey Steve, welcome to the forum. Thats a nice Trek. I have a friend that has one that looks very similar. I've thought many times that would be a great bike to put a motorized bicycle engine on. I bet it will bolt right on with very little modifying. Lots of people more than willing to help if you get in a jam. Have fun and happy building...........................

What engine is better 70cc with 2 strokes or the 50cc with 4 strokes?

Is't the 4 strokes faster or the 2 strokes stronger?
