I found a 60hp motorcycle engine for only $150. I don't think it would be too difficult to hook it up to a bicycle frame and then some further work to make it functioning. I don't know, do you think this could be a decent summer project?

>>954943 for sure! I started a similar project with my dad a while ago. There's videos of others doing similar stuff, so definitely check those out. We welded our own frame and stuff so it was a bit more custom. Keep us updated OP!

Picked up the bike frame from a friend and started to clean it up. While doing this, I was wondering if I should use an electric motor instead. What do you think?

>>954967 I mean, you already have the other engine, maybe make the electric one the next project. Or just buy a Ducati Futa.

>>955004 I haven't bought it yet. Also I think it would be a lot easier to go with electric.

>>955410 Yeah! I spent the weekend cleaning the rust off the frame and giving it a fresh coat of paint. Honestly, the way it's going it'll just look like a beefed up ebike.

>>955042 absolutely not. if a single piece breaks you have to pay lots of money. ice engines are also more intuitive, easier to work on and you can find spare parts easily
