I am a newcomer to the world of motored bicycles and was thinking of building one for daily commute to work. I live in a hilly area(east tennessee) and need reliability, but don't have and endless budget. I found this kit which the seller says they are getting a new shipment in a couple of weeks http://www.bicycle-engines.com/49cc-4G-T-Belt-Drive-Complete-Gas-Powered-Engine-Kit.html It seems a somewhat middle ground price/quality between a more quality kit like golden eagle or ez bikes and a cheap 2 stroke no name brand chinese kit. I have calculated that I need to log around 2500 miles on the bicycle before it pays for itself in gas costs.
The question I have is how reliable are the 4G T Belt Drives since they seem to be the weak link in the system?
How many miles have you logged on these newer drives?
I know there were some problems with the one way bearing. Does anyone know if this issue has been resolved?
Thanks in advance for your input and experience..
