Hello all, I just sold the first bike I ever built, now I'm working on my second. I really want something with full suspension, but of course most of the setups won't work with these engines. I think I may have found one that will, what do you think? will the motor fit?

If I can't do that one, I'm thinking about doing a 29" monster! does anyone have any experience building a 29" ?

I think this is the same bike, they guy just repainted it, it's motorized

There are a few guys here that have done the Genesis 29. Look in the Motorized Mountain Bikes section, or do a search. There are some nice builds. :)

On the other one, the shock will keep you from mounting in the frame. You can go with a front or rear friction drive, or a rear mount chain/belt drive.

.
 
friction drive kits are the simplest to set up. But you need a slick or semislick tire as they don't work with mountian bike tires
