Ive found an engine that competes with the Chris Hill motors

hey arceeguy, that post sounds more like a public service announcement more than anything else. Your message is true but somewhat out of context with this particular thread. what's the deal?

sorry arceeguy you were goofing on the Strider statement on there web site ooppps

My point was that if their disclaimer was so poorly and unprofessionally put together, their engines are somewhat suspect.

Now that we know the price, well - hooooooly sheeeeeeet! For that kind of money, I want a billet CNC machined crankcase, nikasil plated alloy cylinder, and genuine dellorto carburetor!

I Kinda like the look of their gas tanks but I don't think it's worth the $350 for that much style. I could get a motorcycle tank from ebay for far less.

They claim "Our motorized bicycles have exceeded 70 MPH with this engine, but we list our showroom models at 50 MPH."

That is bragging pretty hard for an 80 cc engine that looks like a cheap Chinese engine. I am skeptical, so I need to see a video showing the drivetrain, and a bicycle with rider actually in motion on a public road breaking through the 50 mph (not kph) claim, and hold it there for a minimum of two minutes.

I will remain a disbeliver until I see undisputable proof.

Dang! My old '72 Honda CB175 could barely hit 70 downhill with a tailwind. These engines must be something special to hit 70 with a one speed gearbox!

I saw mine do 70 backwards once !!!
it was in the pickup bed going to the deathrace LOL

I have know Chris Hill for some time now and run his CH80 engine which has been reliable as ****. I would buy my next engine off Chris because he cares about what he sells. By Far, Chris Hill's engines are the BEST...Dan

Chris Hill actually uses Better parts in his stuff.
Good quality Bearings and stuff.
Then there is Maniac Mechanic Who re enginers China Girl engines , and who may produce a supercharged happy time ,
Applying a coating of paint to an engine is not competing with Chris Hill .
I also await any review.

I don't think anyone is going to buy their next engine off Chris. The striderrides.com domain is dead, but you can get the rest of the story from http://chrishill.myknet.org/

Your tax dollars at work.
