I ended up ordering the DE Mitsubisi 43cc Encore Manual
Direct Drive yesterday. I felt this would suite my needs better
than the centrifugal clutch- Automatic. Deciding factor about
ordering from DE was that they have been in business about
20 years now. I agree that they are a little bit pricey, but I
guess that is the price for simplicity. I have read negitive things
about their referral program but a person can buy 4- kits and get
25% off. I only needed one kit....thou. Looking forward to trying
kit out. I had a Japanese Front Wheel Drive Kit in the early 1980"s
with a handle to engage and disengage direct drive that I enjoyed
riding very much, only top out around 18 mph though. I sold it to
a friend a few towns over and believe it or not it is still going. I
thing he has replaced a few rollers and tires thou.
