I haven't seen a 24. I have seen a board tracker with 20in wheels and really fat tires. It looked good.

YES I just turned my first bicycle,a 1954 schwinn 24 inch into motorized and it was a hellacious task for me. The mounting bars were too small to mount the engine and had mount pieces custom made by my machinist neighbor. I wish I could send you a pic but my computer is not at the time capable. People on the street are so complementary of it. It is worth your while to struggle through the project. Any questions contact me

Was the problem that the bars were just too small (smaller than normal) or that the newer engine kits are made for oversized tubing?
The few remaining kits I have in boxes are the "older" variety, with the "small" mounts.

To the OP- You may want to go to a 41T sprocket, or you may find your bike will be slightly under geared.

The Merkel isn't a 24" bike, it is a custom frame with 21" motorcycle rims and tires which are more like 26" bicycle tires.
