Mountainman, Go to golden eagle bike engines and look at the 26cc, 32cc, and there 40cc tanakas they all look the same. They dont sell the 47 its a bored out 40 and it looks the same. I just went and looked at my 47r and there is no stamp on engine that says cc,s just a sticker on the recoil start.

Heres my 22.7cc weed wacker motor, does the 47 look twice as big! Very little dif.

No reason to argue the point - I hope that it all flies ! If we have to - we will do what we need to do - so as to ride. Let's just say that if a pooolice man or Lady knows a little in regards to engines and even has some doubt - a ticket may be a coming. Worst yet - I have been pulled over by motorcycle cops - who specialize in traffic - wouldn't want to try and BS them.. PS - I am pulling for any and all who ride MBs...

kaw9 -- I understand - I have my own issues here in Ca. - some GRAY AREAS - that's what I call them anyway. Some say that I can ride without a drivers license - have letters from different pooolice depts stating that --- and then many others say that I can not.. Have not been stopped yet - hope not to - have had many pooolice give me a look - and the best advise that I have gotten is - when they look start pedalling - every time I do - they just look away.. Got one of those goofy Ca. motorized bicycle plates attached - looks pretty legal - don't want to give them ANY REASON to stop me -- and for now - it's been a blast of a ride - as much fun as that first motor scooter I had - wow - 50 years ago now. If I thought that I could get away with it - I would buy a larger engine - maybe 49 to 80cc and put a 35cc stamp on it and ride - I would - but - this guy would get caught - and be in big trouble...

the golden eagle system with the Robin Subaru EHO35 is what I ride. I am about 220 and my bike is 60+ pounds. I can cruise at 20 for hours no problem. I use my bike for my commute. Teamgorrilla got a hold of a counterfeit Robin Subaru (with a plastic cam) and he holds it against the company.

That being said the eho35 will stall in 105+ degrees. This is a little inconvenient because you have to pull the cord at stop lights (though it starts with the first pull).

Astring, wouldn't just a little extra throttle on stops keep it going. It works for me. Just not enough to engage the clutch.

After reading and lurking for three weeks here at MBC, I stumbled across a question about Oregon law governing these great fun bikes. I guess I am limited to 35cc. I weigh about 230# so what options are out there. Do cops stop these bikes and look at papers documenting engine displacement? Should I just go for it and be a rebel? Dave

I don't know what your requirements are but I weigh in at 250 and am using the RS EHO35cc. I find that it has plenty of power (I actually wish I had gone with the smaller EHO25). Going with a 2-stroke would give even more power/cc. Do you already have a set up? If not, you may be surprised at how much these little engines provide.
