I worte an e-mail to EZ Motorbike Company asking if their EZ Q-matic belt drive is available or not and got no answer. Is this drive available or not? And has anyone other than the company or a dealer reviewed or tested it? Very
interested. Mike

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.
