What If someone made a drive that can be custom tuned to each riders needs?
What if someone made a drive that fit hundreds of different styles & types of motors?
What if someone made a drive that used mostly american made parts and assembled in the USA?
What if someone made a drive, that if parts were ever needed, they could be purchased at most hardware or auto parts stores?
What if someone made a drive and tested it for hundreds of hours to find the maximum performance curve?
Guess what! It is called the Q-Matic Pacesetter and we have shipped dozens earlier this month.
The reason it is called the Q-Matic Pacesetter, is because it can be set for the individual owner's riding style, or "set the pace". The new drive sytem doesn't change ratios on the fly [CVT], but allows the owner to pre-set the ratios.
The following chart explains a few of the possible settings and is based on using a 56 tooth rear sprocket and is the overall final ratio.

The primary ratio can be changed in less that 5 minuites and doesn't require messing with a greasy chain or sprockets. The changes are made with either exchanging the primary pulley size or using the adjustable primary pulley.
To give a an example of just how adjustable the drive can be, I will give information on my new 50 CC "Drag" bike. The bike will be tested with 2 different setting. One will be the Roller Road [DYNO] and the other setup will be used on the Dirt Drag Test Track. Within a matter of minuites the drive can be converted to race on 150 foot track for short fast runs [16.965 X 1 ratio], and then setup for top speed on the DYNO [9.716 X 1].
All the new drive systems will include the new modular brackets, and a 3 piece front bracket for instant belt or ratio changes. As always, all current parts fit all versions of the Q-Matic drive and means older drives can be updated to the latest version.
This drive is so advanced, there just isn't enough space to explain all the features, however this drive fits motors from 1.5 HP to 30 HP, and is most commonly used on the HS 142, Honda 50, HF 79 & 99CC, B & S 2.5 to 3.5 HP, Lifan, Clinton, Tecumsah, and even electric start Whizzers.
The new drive can also be installed on the HS motors with the short tapered shaft [Hoot], the current HS motors with the charging system [I have one of the charging motors on my Dirt Drag test bike]. We make adapters [crankshaft extension] for the odd size shafts [14.8 MM, tapered, straight shaft no keyway, etc]
Have fun,
