Hi From Alaska

[Dale L Heckert]

From petals to propellers I love things that go. These powered bikes are the answer to rising gas prices. Has anyone tried to rubber mount the engine to the frame instead of hard bolting them?

Hey Dale, welcome to the forum. Lots of motorized bicycle enthusiats here. I think there are some on here that have used rubber. I bet some of them will chime in. Lots of talented people here that are more than willing to help. Glad you joined us.............................

Hello Dale welcome to the forum I have not used rubber mounts, I do not have a vibration problem like some other MB's.

hi dale and welcome to the forum. rubber mounts would be really nice if they hold up. my concern would be gas eating up the mounts though. let us know how it works out. summer is short in alaska so make the best of it. glad you are with us

Hi Dale
I have been around these bike motors since 04 and have been on every motorbike forum I could find . This topic has come up several times . My conclusion from all I have read is that the motors have to be attached to the frame as rigidly as possible . This might involve filing the imperfections from the mount to make an even better contact . If you give these motors a chance to move , they will . They would only vibrate more with rubber mounts . ......... D.J.

hi, i lived 30 years in kasilof 10 mi. south of the kenai. you are using some weak rubber if gas eats it.

Hi Dale, welcome to the group. I personally have always rigid mounted my engines. Enjoy the ride...Kelly

Ridgid mounting is best....find some lead sheet to put between the bicycle motor and the frame.
