That's a very nice bicycle for motorizing. I would check close the 212 predator basic mount kit from Ghetto Bike. I think almost all of his motorized bicycle parts (hubs, jackshaft, mounts, suspension fork, steel rod for entire length of seat post and wide pedal crank, exhaust with muffler, etc) will fit the aluminum Felt cruisers. You won't regret the money and time you spend fitting that bicycle with a 212 predator with parts from Ghetto Bike because the finished build will be a lot of fun.

That will make a awesome motorbike!!!
KW Machine works makes a lot of great parts if you want to use a 2-stroke engine & convert the frame to hold gas.... http://www.kwmachineworks.com/

Yes Norm I've used both the KW Machine Works front engine mount and the beautiful chain idler/tensioner....quality stuff.
It had been awhile since I'd visited the Ghetto site and they have some great offerings as well for the 212 Predator, though my attention was really drawn to their rear wheel, hub, brake & sprocket setups....very slick, 10 gauge spokes on the rear is a compelling feature for these more powerful and heavy bikes that many us have or are considering building. Which takes me back to the Felt and it's a wonderful choice of frame to build on. It's got lots of room to mount the Predator 212 or other 4 stroke, 2 stroke of course or any number of electric combinations.
Have fun with the build and whatever engine type you select know the Felt frame is good choice.

Here's my build on the same fame. Phantom motorbikes only build electrics now but they have/ had some old stock still. and the exhaust pipes are fantastic also. Askem what they have leftover. you might get a deal on a motor and 4G jackshaft. Their motor mount for the HS 48cc four stroke is a PERFECT match for these frames. They may still have some. https://motorbicycling.com/threads/pffst-phoenix-felt-four-stroke-twin.39722/
