Need some input from experienced users on this Micargi Seattle build.

Thinking of buying a Micargi Seattle and slapping on a BBR 50cc engine with an offset motor mount. But I'm unsure if the engine will fit with the pedal chain right besides the engine. Has anyone been able to put a regular 50cc on this bike without fabrication? I have zero fabrication skills or tools so I'm hoping that only drilling the rear hub is needed.

This does not look like a friendly bike to motorize.

No gears, and it's only got a coaster brake.
With fat tire bikes I always jackshaft them to clear the tire, the pedal chain always fits by the tire.

You might want to look at the Slugo...

Dual disc brakes to stop those fat tires and a 7-speed.
That has a 53cc 4-stroke but a 2-stroke will work just as well.

Have you ever rode a fat tire bike?
I suggest you go ride one first before you buy, they may look cool with those big tires, but they handle pretty crummy.

Cool, a 7-speed will work, but an Internal Hub Shifter is best ;-}
Then just jackshaft your engine output to the pedal side and your set.

You look cool and stop quick.
I do this for my 3" tire builds.

Are you going 2-stroke or 4?
