well it does slip occasionally and i have to pedal with it when going up a steep hill, the starnge thing is when i give it full throttle it doesnt seem like its giving it full power, and i know it can rev faster, hope the new carburetor will cure this problem

The 52cc Mite Be Better With The 1 1/2" Rubber Roller From Bmp. Not For Speed, But For Fuel Milage. Used My Gps Street Pilot On My Shifter Bike For Speedo. Got Up To 32 Mph In 5th Gear, Scary Fast With The Stock Spokes And My Fat Butt Over 300 Lbs. Never Got My 25cc Jackshaft Friction Drive Running. "zipcycle" Was Turning The Engine Backwards With The Electric Drill. Duh!! Ron

I think with the poly 1.5 roller, you would also save your tires, if its fitted tightly.
That might be the best option for a 700c road bike.

I'm secreting money in a jar and plotting to buy the BMP roller and probably the Harbor Freight copy 52. Those goped/ATV engines with the 4hp and walbro carbs are sure tempting for $230 though. There is a "juice box" fuel evaporation chamber for $20 too.

re: maxter's youtube video. Looks like the motor system works ok. What is wrong with your brakes?!

Maybe you need new pads or an adjustment.

Ron, you're such an inspiration! Whenever I feel like I'm getting carried away with my MB projects, I think of you.

Why did you raise your gas tank so high, on your white Mongoose dual-suspension bike?

On your EZ Roller Regal trike, is your engine only driving the right rear tire, and how does that affect steering?

Sorry for questions to Ron, OP.

Hey Buddy. I Think We Keep Each Other Busy More Than Most Members!!! Lol

This Afternoon, Have Been Having A H@ll Of A Time Trying To Post Pic`s To Pickets Dual Drive.

Ok, Here Is The Story On The High Gas Tank Mount.

I Switched A Low Mounted Gas Tank Which Was On A Regular 49cc Cag Motor To The Cag With Big Bore 52cc Kit. The Separate Cyclinder Head Was Larger And The Cooling Fins Melted Thru The Tank. Installed The Tall Tank And It Never Restarted, Almost 2 Yrs Ago. It Is In Solitary Confinement Since!! Lol.

The trike, yes just the right wheel drives. Only rode it a couple miles at most. They feel weird, especially with big ole me. Like it is going to tip over and it did torque to the left, if i remember correctly.

You boys are rocking with your hot rods!
