Before Installation

The two most critical steps in installing the kit are:

1.)    Positioning the engine in the frame.

2.)    Installing and aligning the sprocket on the rear wheel.

 

Proper alignment of the engine and sprocket will have beneficial effects on the balance, vibration dampening and ultimate power of your ride. It is essential that your drive chain runs in a straight line from the motor drive sprocket to the rear wheel drive sprocket. All the other parts of the kit will fit wherever your particular setup allows.

 

Affixing the Engine

Position your engine as low in the enter triangle of your bike frame as it will go.

 

Knock or grind off any water bottle fixtures that interfere with either motor mount. If the front down-tube is larger than the front motor mount it will be necessary to  fabricate a supplemental front mount similar to the one in the picture below, then bolt up both front and rear motor mounts. Be sure not to over-tighten the bolts as this may cause the studs to strip.
