Reading all post about this engine I was about to get one, but then I cooled off.
Pros:
1. You can't beat the price (below $100 for 2.5HP engine).
2. 2.5HP and good torque.
Cons:
1. Difficult frame mount fit on most bikes.
2. Too heavy for rack mount.
3. Not powerfull enough for a "pusher".
4. Only about .4 or .5 HP more than Honda/Titan/HF52cc 2 stroke at 10-14lb more weight (80-120% more WEIGHT).
2. Weight 22lb 10lb more than Titan, Honda 50 at .4 HP gain, 14lb more than HP 52cc 2 stroke at 2HP+? .4 gain at 14+weight.
3. How it is a Honda 50 "killer" with only 0.4HP more (19%) and 10LB + (54% more) ???
3. Can you really take adventage of its torque without a kind of
shift kit or CVT?
How do you propell the bike to get it to the "new speed record" using all 1speed (3rd gear only) most popular setups?
I do not want to peddle heavy engine + bike + my weight to 10 MPH or more to reach "new speed record for $79.00 " sorry.
THIS IS NOT TO KNOCK OFF ANYBODY WHO IS HAVING FUN WITH THIS ENGINE !!!
I just can not justify to buy it only cause it is a "bargain" since I can not see an advantage to use it for MB in comparison to other engine options available.
