Beach Cruiser Mounting Tips

[rockonp04]

I found a beach cruiser and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for mounting an engine. I've got a 66cc. Any tips on aftermarket engine mounts or would I even need a mount?

I'm loving my hockey puck motor mount.

pretty sweet man. any vibration? how is the the other mount? is it just mounted by the frame by itself?

My vibration level seems well under control. I do have a 48cc though, and a 40T sprocket. The rear mount is just a stock mount with one layer of inner tube wrapped around the frame tube. I did replace the stock mounting studs with #5 grade screws that I cut the heads off of.

what are the advantages of a less teeth?

That hockey puck is awesome I wonder how that would work on my aluminum framed cruzer.

here's how i made one: http://motorbicycling.com/f26/how-i-made-extended-front-motor-13429.html

and less teeth on the rear sprocket makes a faster top speed, but sacrifices low end, meaning it'll take off slower.

interesting mount. I would like to just drill into the frame like that but my last build cracked right at my front motor mount so im kinda reluctant to drill into the frame.

mine's not drilled into the frame. i would never suggest drilling holes in any part of the frame that carries a load.
