Those style of chopper bikes look very kewl, but they're VERY difficult to motorize!!
You have to offset the engine 1/2" (with custom made mounts) & also shim out the rear sprocket for the chain to clear the 3" wide rear tire; You also have to custom make a long sturdy front engine mount.

Here's a pic of a similar bike (Nirve Switchblade) that I built a few years ago...

Now I know why I don't see a lot of motorized Prado's. Nice work.

The front one looks like it was made from a flat piece, then bent to shape. The back though, looks more like a block that was drilled out for the rear mounting studs then attached to the frame.

Another problem that can only be fixed by money is mounting the back sprocket. 68 spokes create a odd count for sprockets made to fit 36 spokes due to the spacing. I think it's the Manic Mechanic sprocket mount that fits...somewhat. A search might find someone who has done it.
