KCvale
In memory of KCvale 1959 - 2019
I got this new China 'sample' kit in today.
It's pretty impressive, and it came with a nice installation manual.
It's like a full size glossy magazine full of pictures.
A real 70cc size, 5hp with electric and pull start.
Oil bath Centrifugal clutch.
12V DC generator and regulated battery system.
And a darn odd cylinder. The head is part of it so not removable but the spark plug is angled.
And it's WIDE, you need to put in a wide BB axle and funky pedals.
It's begging me to be jackshafted, but to do a fair test I'll do it direct drive on a Micargi Pantera 7-speed 26" bike, picking it up today.
This will take back seat to my customer builds however...
The GT2 frame should be done today for another 4-stroke 10G long shaft shifter, and then a new electric Sun Trike shifter.
The trikes not here yet so maybe I can fit it in between them.
Two things looks for sure to be wanted, little drag while pedaling with the engine off, and with push of button you have engine power, and a reliable 12V power system for lights and other things.
Please don't ask me about pricing, I am not allowed to talk about that, but suffice it to say it is not in the Happy Times range ;-}
