 Although most gas motor-assisted bikes are made using a single-speed beach cruiser bike frame with coaster brakes, I prefer a mountain bike frame.

It is easy to install the motor onto the cruiser frame, due to the size of the frame¹s "V", and the fact that the tubes are the same size.

. I do not use a cruiser frame for a number of reasons:

· You can only apply the brake forcefully in two crank

  positions.

· If your foot slips off the pedal, you can't brake at all.

· If your chain breaks or falls off, the brake fails.

· If you don't have a hand-operated front brake, you

  can't stop as quickly as with a bike that does have one.

· Cruisers are very awkward to get started, since you

  can't easily rotate your cranks to a good starting position.

· There are no front shocks. (Due to the obstacle course

  they call a bike lane, shocks are a handy item.)

· When your 20-plus pounds motor kit decides not to run,

  it is a lot easier to pedal home with multiple gears to

  choose from.


 
 
As an motor-assisted bikes rider since the year 2000, I have learned some tricks that I would like to pass on to you. My bike was fitted with all the 36-volt electric motor parts designed for an E-bike. In addition, I installed a reputable name brand gas motor purchased as a kit from China, via the internet. The gasoline motor "kit" adds a dry weight of about 20-plus pounds. As you can see I stuffed it all on a 26-inch mountain AKA "city" bike frame.
