Long time listener, first time caller.
A month or two ago I bought a 2 stroke engine from Motovelo (guy does have good customer service and fast shipping, not sure why the immense hate on here for him but, I digress...) and installed it on an old rickety beach cruiser. I love it for a first time install but I want something safer and something more rideable.
I just got my hands on a Trek FX 7.2 fitness bike. Here is a youtube link of the bike I got.

Do you see any issues w/ a future installation on this bike? I know I will have to drill into the frame to mount the motor but anything other then that? Are the tires too narrow? Will this be more dangerous? Its my second go around at this and I might be missing something. Any hints would be appreciated. Also, should I do a four stroke or two stroke? I live in Cali and need shipping.
Thanks
