Yeah that's the same thing as bike berry, Grubee, CDH & a bunch others sell & call a drum brake. It is not a drum brake at all. It's a glorified band brake.

Thanks Wrench! You didnt have to tear them apart. Are them the wheels you quoted as a 77A for front, & a 77RA for the rear. Are they 18mm wide or 20mm? Thanks

What part is 18mm or 20mm ?

What part is 18mm or 20mm ?

On them 80mm worksman drum brakes, are the brake shoes 18mm wide or 20mm wide? The brake shoes width themselves.

Worksman Brake Shoe width 19mm

The drum depth would fit 18mm and probably 20mm too

Dear MechMike219-Very sorry to read about the wheel failure! When I owned my Grubbee 49 cc motorized Cranbrook, I rarely exceeded 18 mph and all of the bearings were cleaned and repacked with quality Park grease. When I break in my 66cc Pk80 engine on my Hyper cruiser, I don't plan on exceeding 25 mph. I still fondly remember the arm length road rash I received after overinflating the rear tire on my Grubbee 49cc and losing traction on a curve going maybe 8mph! Those new production Whizzers, although beautiful to look at, had some serious QA issues that kept me from every purchasing one-Gearhead437

A Whizzer is the most reliable M/B available. Yes I have made some upgrades

The lack of parts support, due to the company closing, coupled with the valve seat issues on some models, kept me away from every buying one. It's like comparing a Ural to a Honda, although at least with a Ural the company is still in business-Gearhead437

It depends on the Honda and what parts. I can't find a new jug for my ct90 new anywhere

Compearing a CG 2 stroke or a HS 4 stroke to a Whizzer isn't saying much

Yeah, that valve seat issue on the 1999-2004 WC-1 scared alot of folks away from considering a Whizzer
2005-2007 NE-5 were the best Whizzers produced and the 2007-2009 NER is good too
The WC-1 can be upgraded with the NE-5/NER/Cruzzer top end kit or even a new engine,
Most all Whizzer parts are still available today at www.whizzercruzzerparts.com
Yes Whizzer/Cruizzer parts are from the same manufacture in Taiwan
