Soon I am going to be upgrading my MB, building a better one that I can hopefully ride to work every day, without fear of it coming apart on me. I've considered three kits, which do you guys/gals think would be best? I ride 32 miles round trip, moderate hills, I weigh about 200 lbs and might carry another 10 lbs with me. I don't need the machine to be capable of 45 MPH or anything crazy like that, I'd be happy with 25 MPH. The kits I've considered are:
GenII grubee 2 stroke, possibly with a shifter kit. Could be the cheapest, would be a frame mount, but how reliable is it compared to a more generic chinese two stroke?
Staton friction drive with the TLE 43 or Robin engine, this one is attractive because it could go on my EZ-1 recumbent, and Staton is located in OKC, not far away.
GEBE with the 32cc Tanaka or Robin-Subaru engine. Everyone has such good things to say about the golden eagle kit, but they are a bit more expensive.
I would mount the kit I chose either to a kulana moon dog that has been upgraded with alloy wheels and larger brake pads, a Trek 820, or in the case of the friction kit, to my Sun EZ-1 recumbent.
