geared belt drive best?

... BMP (Bicycle Motor Parts) ...The one main difference, beside being a whole lot less money then the Staton...
They are less money than Staton. But, by the time you add a Honda or R/S motor, they're not that much less, Bill. (when I compared prices, BMP was about $75 less)

If you already have the motor, then, that's another story.
 
Bill,
I've been waffling on which friction drive to get but have had my eye on the BMP drive system for a while now and since I read your great review I'm getting one. Saw your pictures as well and am curious about the 49cc knockoff from monster scooter parts. Is it fairly quiet/reliable? Otherwise I'm considering a mitsibushi or Robin Suburu. thanks,
Pete

I really love my BMP drive system. The Monsterscooterparts engine is great too. Very reliable thus far and very powerful. Not too quiet though. It is not as loud as it appears in my video but, it is not quiet either. The exhaust system is stock and I am sure one could modify it to make it a little quieter if needed. I like this engine because it was not expensive, (I could buy 3 of these for the price of the Honda) it has way more power than the Honda 35 and it really turns out the rpm's.

I just swapped out my 1.25 drive roller for the 1" roller just to see the difference. The 1.25" roller has me going about 34 mph which is really a bit too fast for this bike. The entire swap out took me like 5 minutes. I may post another video when it quits raining here.

I also like the idea of a 4-stroke engine and would like to get one sometime. I believe the Titan 50cc is the only 50cc that I am aware of that will bolt right onto the BMP drive.

Let us know how you make out.

I love my GEBE kit.... cant say enough good things about it. I think the belt drive is FAR superior to chain or friction drives. Easier to install/tension, much smoother, no excessive tire wear, no slippage. I love my GEBE kit... I dont even ride my felt cruiser anymore.

Would be happy to answer any specific ???'s. Just PM me.
 
My 2 Cents, If You Are Going With The "bmp" Kit (good Guy, Fast Service) I Would Use The Titan With His New 1 1/2" Composite Roller. I Have A 49cc Pocket Bike Motor On The Bmp With The 1 1/4" Roller, Starts Out With No Pedal Assist And Go`s 35 Mph With 180 Lb Rider. I Have 3 Titans And Love Them. I Have Some Golden Eagle Parts And Plan Building One. 49cc May Be To Much Power For The Belt System. I Would Check With Them. Ron
 
I really would like to use a good 4 stroke like the Titan but it just looks physically so darn big compared to the Suburu or the 2 strokes! Do these work OK on friction drives?

I use the eho35... great engine. Absolutely no complaints. Small, clean, reliable, good power, easy maintenance, starts every time.
 
I too like the robin and have seriously considered it but I'm not sure if it would carry my weight 185lbs at 25 mph. Can any comment on this?

I weigh 210... the eho35 cruises very comfortably at about 23-24 mph... at full throttle I can get 28-29
