Hey all, I'm brand new here and just ordered an engine from Ebay. I have two beach cruisers to choose from, one a single speed 26" coaster brake and the other an Electra 7 speed 26" with the "Flat Foot Technology" The crank is located 3 inches forward of the post. What do I use for a front motor mount if I choose the Electra? Do I build my own or does someone produce and market them? I'd post some pictures but...I really don't know how. Thanks in advance, any help will be appreciated
 
It will be easier to mount the engine on the coaster cruiser than the flat foot bike. You will need some kind of custom motor mount to put a China girl in the flat foot frame.
The flat foot bikes are great for electric kits, because there is a lot of room in the frame triangle for batteries.
 
Ok good. The coaster does have a more vintage look to it than the Electra but I'll run it by my two neighbors who are really talented with the welders. Thanks for the answer
 
Also, an Electra has an aluminum frame.
Unless your neighbors are well versed in welding aluminum, I also agree with the cruiser recommendation.
