VERY cool build!! I did something similar a few years back, may even be same type of bike. I'll see if I have some pics... I tried to be stealthy with rack mounting a frame mount kit and hiding it all with a plastic milk crate. I used heavy as fk angle iron for the rack which is too much for this set up. I like yours with the lighter looking rack

From what I can see I.W., this same style mounting would work just as well over the front wheel. Just be sure the road is dry and the front wheel is straight when bump starting.
A good solid rack would be easy to build....sprocket does not care what wheel it's bolted to.
By the way.....I believe this would also work quite well to mount a ht on the Walmart Mongoose fatbike! No jackshaft reqired! Just possibly a sprocket adapter or some type of spacer for the ragjoint sprocket.

so does that mean you could put two motors on one bike?

This looks like it would solve the problem of putting a engine on a girls bike. I think that might be my next project.

That is exactly what it means.
You could easily build a two-wheel drive motorized bicycle by using a rack style mount on both wheels.

There was a huge tire bike called a duck that had a separate motor for each wheel. It worked well. I don't see it as a practical bike for most of us.

And don't forget the Immortal Rokon 2wd motorcycle.
A mountain goat with handlebars and a seat.

+1 on the Rokon! I actually owned one, if you could get the tires to stick, it'd climb a telephone pole. Mine was a '72 (I think),
