Hey Rockjaw,
If it's any consolation to you, I did the same thing but, in my case, this guy is standing in my garage every Saturday morning wanting something or other fixed!

It's one thing to put your own life at risk in the learning process, but it's completely unacceptable to put someone else's life at risk in the learning process.
It must be remembered that a woman doesn't have the intuitive connection to a mechanical instrument because it's not part of her life focus. A woman who purchases a motorised bicycle from a seller just expects that person to be a professional and expects the bike to give Honda reliability, furthermore, she is not looking for potential problems nor is she expecting the bike to catastrophically fail in operation.

It only took 30 seconds of looking at the conventional left hand side drive system supplied with the standard motorised bicycle kit for me to realise that it was a completely useless design which would prove to be worthless in operation.
For that reason i spent 3 weeks searching the internet to find a better system, upon which i found the SickBikeParts shift kit, which made the bike a truly usable transportation device.

Even so, i spent 2 (very painful and soul destroying) years sorting out various issues to give my bike Honda levels of reliability, though it still requires Moto Guzzi levels of maintenance time.


What hope does a woman have of receiving a reliable motorized bicycle from a person with proven levels of mechanical catastrophe; causing a potentially serious situation to her well being.
Some people just need to give up the dream of making a dollar from these bikes.

OK i gota give you that tho Selling this to a woman is Dangerous , I mean think about it some ehh can drive ok but imagine on a Motorized BICYCLE......that would be quite the story
 
ok so when i got the phone call from the buyer ...(woman)Hi I am calling about the motorized bicycle for sale..(me) yes for sale..but youre a woman so i am not selling it to you.

really?


I dont care if they have a stump or a slit...if they want to buy the bikes from me ..thats up to them.

I sold 2 more today. Was very strict telling the buyers that I could not absolutely not warranty the bike.

Yeah i dont mean to come off like that either dont take it wrong , But you said the right thing about the warranty, something ive learned from selling used Heavy Equipment Parts is you always need to make some leeway and no matter what always cover your trail because customers will always use any little word against you . but you got the warranty thing right man !
 
I should have told them that I have my certificate from Motorized Bicycle school that doesnt exist.

And also told them that my defective workmanship was tought from the instructions booklet that comes with the engine kit. Here in the Powerking booklet its showing the C clip pointing to the right when link is on bottom...
Meanwhile..another Engine kit that I bought from Fast bike Motors comes with a paper showing the C Clip facing the Left when link is on the bottom.

Which I am still struggling to find out the correct position of this C clip.

The chain could have busted off on the buyer .. also due to the idler pulley not being installed correctly. In the booklet they are more concerned on telling you that the pulley does not come in black..instead of stating the pulley can be swapped around in different ways to line up with the chain.
So my defective workmanship can be blamed on the engine kit companys.

Was a defect from the makers.

Ok im running mine like this one ^^^^ fast bike motors , and i havent really had any issues . the way i think is that if the link stretched it would just pull tighter and not pull out the open end .. if that makes any sense lol . best thing is just look at the link and think witch one makes more sense to you , thats what i did
