Hi, don't know about your exact frame, but a rack mount system will work for sure. Check out that area of the forum.

Go to shuttlebuddy.com

Like the Prof said, use a rack mount as there is no room for mounting in the frame.
Rack mounted works better than frame mounted on a rear suspension bike, unless you have a really righteous chain tensioner (or two).
An alternative is using an electric hub motor, but you will need to fugure out where to stow the batteries.

a Shuttle Buddy has a pivot point which comes off the seat post and cycles with the suspension. good for MTB

Here is an example of a full suspension motorized bike. All parts are off the shelf. No custom work. GT LTS-2 frame, SBP Shift Kit and Expansion Chamber.

A four link suspension system like that GT LTS or Specialized reduces chain tension changes and can eliminate the need for a sophisticated chain tensioner.
