Amazon bicycle motor kits

[Toby woodman]

I have had a few bad experiences with some of the Amazon bike engine kits. including sever cylinder scoring and seizing and poorly tapped threads that strip when you take the bolt out for the first time. I am specifically talking about the 66/80cc kit that is OUNNO bandied about £89 pounds in the uk. about $100 in the US. I know these are Chinese engines and won't last as long but I wasn't expecting such bad quality. can you get a good engine for a price around 100 - 150 dollars.

I don't know about a cheap good engine. I personally would save a bit more to get a Phantom 85 or Zeda 80 engine.

eBay and Amazon have different kits for different prices. You can get good engines for cheap on eBay because they might be overstock.

Pk80 engines are pretty good from what I heard.

A used Schwinn getting new life.

I picked up a Schwinn cruiser in Nov, tore it down, and spent some spare time during the winter polishing the parts. I started putting it back together a couple days ago after getting the wheels trued at a nearby bike shop. Get this: The shop owner offered me a job because the white-walled tires...

At this moment I have four engines from ebay, the first is a 48cc from BGF that has been great, that engine is 11years old. I have a 2014 66cc that ran great but had bad vibration, I have balanced the crank but haven't run it since. I have a 2021 48cc and a 69cc that I put a 49mm iron sleeve top end on. Time will tell on the last two but they seem to be of good quality. I do disassemble every engine and correct what needs attention. I haven't had a failure yet.

Could you list the prices for those kits? OP is looking for some budget options that are of higher quality, so I think prices would be appreciated.

sounds like shopping around a bit and waiting for a good kit to come up at a good price is probably my best option
