Hey all, name's Nick, and I've been considering working on motorized bikes for a little while now. Came across the forum here and decided to make an account before I start my first project. Weather over here's getting perfect for riding and getting work done. Looking forward to chatting with you guys and being one of the pack!
Greetings from NJ

I'm planning on a mountain bike, rear-mounted since I'm pretty sure I don't have room for an engine in my frame. The bike's a diamondback response, with disc brakes front and back, so I think that a friction drive is my best bet. After this project I plan on building a 2-stroke cruiser.
Nice choice of bike. But I do remember some mounting the motor in-frame, here are just a few.

Rear mount is a good choice as well

Welcome, Nick! We hope you enjoy your stay here. Wow, that bike though. The Diamondback Response looks bada$$ with a frame mount engine in it. Don't be afraid to ask any of us for advice about anything about working on/building a motorized bike. We're all happy to help.
