Thank you kindly Professor. Can you name the main pieces? I've been waiting for someone to ask what the clutch/motor mount is from...
 
I have to get a set of those handlebars or make some.Just the right height. I hate leaning so far forward on mine. Nice build.
 
So this one is a gone but not forgotten build. I did build my moto 2.0. Its a very similar motobecane 400ht in gloss black. It gives me the fizz "if u liked Topgear you understand". Its a 460 frame mounted on a shift kit. I modified a cag pb pipe for it but otherwise its a stock engine... 54.9mph in 5th on the flat! Ive got 8 speeds so I need to reduce more so the pedal assist is in the correct ratio first second and third will be granny gears and the 6-7-8 gears will be more usable.
 
How do you mean you have 8 gears? Looks to me like it's set up on the left side not through the gears.
Just spotted you said it's a different bike , but did you make the mount bracket yourself?
 
No I cant take credit for that beautiful piece of billet. That is a Flowsystem billet "bigfoot goped" mount repurposed for a bike build. Belt drive custom. Only the wheel/sheave and belt were from GEBE.
 
12:272 is the ratio of the 26cc goped motered belt drive unit I built on moto 1.0. Any htd pitch cog will work on the newer gebe sheave, toothed belts are the quiet alternate to chains. Heavy duty wheels are a must for high HP belt drive engines though.
