When browsing ebay to see what random motorized bicycle stuff was up today, I noticed a ton of listings for a U-Moto Zeus T-100 engine in the $125-200 price range for either just the engine or the full kit. Now what caught my attention was the fact that it looks quite a bit different than the bt-100 and isn't just a straight up clone.
Bt-100:
VS
Zeus T-100:
The shape of the transfers on the case of the t-100 (at least from the outside) closely resemble the 66cc engines where the bt-100 is a completely different casting. It almost appears as if this t-100 is simply a standard bottom end with a different piston/jug bolted on. At the very least, it's quite a bit cheaper than the bt-100 and it wouldn't be too hard to saw the top of the jug off to bolt a head on (if the bolt spacing is the same, can't find any info on that.
Here is an example listing from a USA seller that I was looking at as shipping would be quick to me being just a few hundred miles away:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-80cc-1...-ONLY-FOR-KITS-AND-BICYCLE-BONUS/123873676446
Could be a potentially interesting motor after some port work, squish band adjustment and a reed.
