you know what, now that i see how far off center the engine sets no matter how good and reliable it is its just not for me.
I understand some feel that way, though it's mostly about the look. I admit it was off putting to myself at first when just getting into MBs. I was using a stock HT kit at the time and I had to find something more reliable or give it up. For me it became all about the the reliability.
The off center mounting is now a non-issue. The engines and drive assemblies are so lightweight there is really no perceptible balance issue but I got used to that with several friction drives before I tried the GEBE and at least with the GEBE I can use it in wet weather as a dependable commuter unlike the friction drives.
I can easily cruise at 30mph but mostly keep it at a comfortable 25.
