So what would you do with this bike?

[rm26x]

Just looking for some ideas as what to do with this bike. I have a 26" hybrid mountain bike I am already converting with a rack mount friction drive system.

Thinking something more "motorcycle-ish" with this one.

Nothing looks more 'motorcycle-ish' than the 2 stroke 'HT' engines!

Yeah your probably right, also looking at the Harbor Freight 2.5hp 4 stroke engine idea.

Here's another motor option the Chinese Cloned Honda Mini Trail Bike 50cc fully automatic 4-stroke motor.

I have a build similar to yours it's a Schwinn OCC-Stingray Chopper with a 50cc/110cc semi automatic 4-stroke. You'd probably have to remove your seat down tube and add a wide pedal crank.

Here's a Honda Mini Trail 50cc:

Here's forum Member Civlized Stretch Cruiser Build using the Horizontal Cloned Mini Trail Bike 50cc motor:

This one has the full electric package:

Or if you could send that Bike to Venice Motor Bikes, and let him trick that bike out, he'll build you a 1st Place Show Bike. If you haven't checked out his website do so his builds are amazing!!!

Here's the Link to his website:

C'mon Venice show us one of your builds with a Horizontal 4-stroke Honda Mini Trail 50cc!!!

You can do it!

Hmm thats an idea as well. Good looking bike. I see myself building up several of these over time, as there are several styles I want to try. It helps that I am a small engine mechanic by trade as well.

man, I love the bags on civilized's stretch
someone wanted me to mount and engine on one of those frames,,,I don't have the equipment for that kind of fabbing

good luck and lots of pics please

I am thinking of just using a HT kit for this one, and thinking a 5L mini keg under the seat would make a killer fuel tank. Cant say I care for the included tank all that much.

Will post pictures for sure. Have to get the bike first, having a few issues with the seller so may end up with a different frame, but will be the same style bike.

On a side note...
Plans are in the long run to offer bikes turnkey for sale, but want to get a few different types under my belt first so I can have some knowledge of them and make sure things are safe for people. Being a small engine mechanic by trade I can offer service on the bikes and engines as well for my customers which I think will be a big help for them.
Around here, people want the "ride it now" factor, not the take it home and put it together factor.

Can't tell me this wouldn't be the perfect engine for this project...
