Motirized Swing Bike?

[bikebuilder]

I am interested in motirizing one of these two bikes, maybe another; with one of those 80cc 2 stroke motors for around $120.

Two questions for the RRB members. Which bike would you suggest?

The black one almost never gets ridden. Maybe this would change that. The orange one would just be fun to put swept up fishtail pipes on.

Question 2...who has had experience with these cheap motors? How long can I expect one to last?

Hi, never see it before on a Swing Bike. Maybe the black?

I think there would be a very steep learning curve. How comfortable are you riding a swing bike down a 20% grade? And doing tricks? Just my opinion- I have never ridden one.

Need other vote options... Conflicted yes or no based on OMG that sound dangerous factor

I am very comfortable on these bikes.

The black one stays locked/rigid most of the time due to the wheelie bar. The orange one is only ever locked for transporting it.

I think it would be awesome if you could find a wheel motor.

I'd destroy myself on a swing bike... But I've no question you have em down.... I'd agree @SSG, I think would make it feel more 70's with a friction drive hanging off the back on the black one.
China girls just look like their price point, defiantly not crafted with pride or to be eye catching in design.
Seen a few kits recently and for less than a China girl...
2 of these motor Kits have been listed recently... One ad used this image but it's a members bike (I tried buy whole thing found out he Google images it)

I hadn't thought of a friction motor. That would look good on the black bike. I will have to think about that and look into it more.

Once the engines break in properly, they are pretty decent. With anything, they require good care and feeding.
Even the cheap 49cc engines tend to be more balanced than the 80cc and will run a bit smoother.
