Mike,
The Q-Matic doesn't have a belt final drive (if that's what you're looking for). The belt goes from the crankshaft pulley to the auto-clutch. The final drive is chain. The Q-Matic is expected to be available quite soon. I know Quenton was shooting for the end of this month, I don't know if that has been pushed back at all. I do know that Quenton has been busier than a one-armed paperhanger for the past month trying to get it to full production status.
I have ridden the Q-Matic on two different engines, and I really like it. If you want feedback from someone who isn't a dealer, send RusticoRay a PM. He isn't a dealer, but he does have a pre-production Q-Matic on one of his bikes.

Well Rome wasn't built in a day either. I know it takes time to go into production with anything, so I will wait.

Unless he's doing some major modification to the clutch, I believe Snakebite's belt drive bike has the original "Silent Drive" drivetrain as opposed to the new Q-Matic. With the Silent Drive, it is quite possible to go to a belt final drive. However, with the Max Torque clutch on the Q-Matic, the toothed sprocket for the chain drive is built into the clutch so it would be quite difficult to go to a belt final drive.

Hello, I don't have an EZM kit but I am interested in a final belt drive. I would like a belt in the rear and the large rear ring with a small front would be easier to adjust total reduction better. How can I contact you.

Hi,
I have a Huasheng engine from one of those kits that never worked. I've adapted a Centrifugal clutch, belt pulleys in front drive to a 10t/50T sprocket chain in back. For a prototype it works good. But it ended being geared too high and now I need to increase reduction which could be done at the back by increasing diameter of tire component. Also, would love to get rid of the chain of course. Belt drive to me is like the goal. But definitely will need some help since it seems beyond my capabilities. Any suggestions are welcome.
