Could have used a better chassis looks like a 50cc bike which is probably not the strongest frame

If that's a 700cc smoker SM, then that swing arm is definitely not up to the task of putting down that power. It'll flex.
Shock absorber looks inadequate too!

It looks like they did not think it through enough and rushed the build. But then if you watch some of their other vids, that's a common theme. Kudos to them for actually getting it rideable, but I would not trust their work 100% and agree with both of you. A better choice of engine with the chain on the other side, say from a 500cc 2 stroke MX bike, would have been a far better choice and have less complications for-sure .

Yeah you could go and buy a Maico 685 if you wanted to? 82hp @ 101kg dry.
