KCvale
In memory of KCvale 1959 - 2019
Well, I got and tested one of those 70cc Zelda's, I just paid the shipping for one direct from the China factory.
I put it on a Micagri Pantera bike.
Topic about my experience with it is here http://kcsbikes.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=948
Cool having 2-stroke generated electric power and electric start, and the engine seemed strong and has good mounts, 2 front and rear, but a real disappointment in real life regular use, and not the least bit friendly to wire up.
Mine sits at my helpers house unable to be started to get it back here.
I'm just saying take the kit with a grain of salt is all, it's just not as cool as it sounds.
Speaking of which, I have been friends with Don Grube (Grubbee, Skyhawk brands) for years.
Very helpful for getting innovation actually manufactured, but in China knock-off's of quality is their main business.
I asked Don about them, this is his E-response verbatim...

KC;
Thanks for the heads up: Yes; We do keep up with competition; In fact competition copies what we do. I may be up in years but I'm still kicking!
Jack Chen owns or operates JL-ZEDA and CDH China Dolphin Harbor He claims to only own JL ZEDA but both are in Jilin City China. He is a 2 faced snake! Jack is his fake name; He's a Cheater and CopyCat and that makes him a low life SOB.
I think he started ZEDA so if sued he wont' take CDH down. He's smuggling 2 stroke engines into the US without EPA certification and that is totally illegal!. Has help from our corupt gov. officials and US Customs and probably help from the China gov. too. Claims to have warehouses in the USA. ZEDA buys my frame design that I spent years and money in developing. The Tianjin frame factory promised to not sell to anybody else but turned out to be 2 faced liers in the end. In China; money talks and bull s**t walks; I tried to tell my wife we needed a legal contract drawn up but she wouldn't listen to me. Now she's sorry becuase it was her money we used!
ZEDA electric start 2 cycle engine with 12v gen is a pile of s**t! Too heavy, Too complicated & Too costly at 300 smackers. It defeats the purpose of having a light weight motorized bicycle in the first place.
They should have developed a 4 stroke version but had a 2 stroke modified instead.. His s**t is not selling well. Only Jack Lin at Bike Berry has any in stock and he is discounting them to move them out. I see you suckered in.
BirdDog got a free one to look at and they say it's a joke: Not sure if AssBike is selling them or not as I do not see them on their web site last time I checked? MZ Parts in Florida says it is a pile of s**t too. Did Zeda send you a free one? I think you are way too smart to spend hard earned money to buy one.
Our new Cordless 20v impact wrench easy-start 2 stroke EPA certified GT5A-ES engine will lead the news. We have a container load of these in Dallas right now heading on up to Durant. Price is only 5 bucks more than a standard 2 stroke engine. Retail Price is $115.00 less carb,cdi & muff. It's available with a CAD/CAM designed and CNC machined HP head and double fire high engery CDI. It may look like it but we are not standing still.
Nov 1st we will be opening our own USA warehouse and I'm going to be working there myself. Not returning to China. My wife's brother will take care of the China side,. My son Jimmy did not pan out and went his own way! We will have a web site like all the other guys so customers can click "add to cart". We will have retail and wholesale pricing. Watch our Okie smoke!
Happy Trails

There is no such thing as 'too much' information about anything in life, like the cancer doctor that read my PET scan results the other day, my cancer has not spread, it's all above my neck!.
Don has spent his life trying to make the best stuff he can in China.
His designs, and even mine, but that news is for another topic.
That's about all I have to say about this topic, hope it helps.
