My last ride bit the dust at 1200 miles.I ride em hard and I gotta say It was not the grubee gt5 engine's fault this time.More like rim failure,frame failure,And vibration.I rode 50 miles from my home and my rim spokes busted out and my frame bent by where the wheel connects to the dropouts and had one big crack.I decided that after 1000 bucks total for replacement parts,3 engines,and 2 bikes costing 250 bucks.I am sticking to pedaling until I either decide to do a nice expensive rear mount 4 stroke,morini build, or a moped.Money and labor I spent on this **** I could have bought something better and more reliable.This 50 mile breakdown and walking 18 before hitching 2 different rides and getting home at 5 In the morning Made me realize I need to build something reliable or diss motoredbikes altogether and buy a good used moped since laws here classify mopeds and m.b.'s as the same.No more cheap china frames and china junk engines for me.Good luck to all those on here and May you not have the misfortune I had on breaking down and the frustration I dealt with from 8 am to 5 am the next day.I had to diss my ride On the side of the road and I will never settle for cheap quality again.
