Welcome to the forum!
Nice job on the Puch installation. How do you like riding it? I haven't ridden mine yet, but have a Tomos 2 speed in an AMF I've been working on.

Do you have photos of the builds in process? I'm especially interested in seeing how you have mounted the engines. I've thought for some time these are a good option for a motored bike, in part for the quality of the components, but also for technically being listed as 50cc. If I'm not mistaken my Tomos engine is very similar to your Puch.
