So I planned on whacking a 2 stroke engine kit from eBay onto a push bike and couldnt find any decent hybrid bikes in my area. I walked into a well known local bike shop and fell in love with one recommended by the owner - A Python Quantom 8000 Men's hybrid bike. I fell in love and purchased on the spot...
Coming home, I realised quickly that It's unlikely ANY motor would fit the damn thing
Before I go ahead and purchase a motor, will anything fit?
The bike is an 18 inch frame. Measuring from the inside of the frame from handlebars to seat is around 17 inches. From the cenre of the pedal to seat is 14 inches. From the centre of the pedal to the handlebar is 19 inches in the frame. It has 700c wheels.
I'm a complete noob but I really, desperately need this bike to run. I have a long commute to work, have struggled to find a job for a long time and public transport in my area is terrible. I would really appreciate some help, and even recommendations on what to buy. I'm no expert so I want a simple, straightforward build with as little money as possible. I dont mind doing a little research and work but I need to be back on the road quickly (The 2 stroke 80cc kits seem to retail around £100, so this is what I was looking to spend, ideally). I have included a picture of my bike model, it is the 18inch version as I mentioned. I have also included a photo of the kit I was looking to buy.
ANY help would be sincerely appreciated - I have very little money but I will definitely send you a big thanks and some good karma <3<3
Thank you,
