Electra FD Review

[floridaboy]

I have had this set up for about 100 miles and like to say how much i like it. It is a Electra alum. coaster bike with a Staton FD with a Zenoah G430 engine. It has a 1.125 dia. drive roller. Now that the engine is broke in it is running strong. My top speed is 33 mph. but with a little more rpms. to spare. I think 35mph is possible with more time on engine.

Well i have had this set up for 2 years now and am still pleased with the Staton FD and the Zeneoh engine.

It looks easy and functional, good job! I was just wondering, with so much more weight on one side of the bike than the other, does it affect your turns or do you just kinda get used to it?

No appreciable effect on turns, and you'll get used to the weight within a few minutes.

Like Cavity said it will not affect you riding the bike. I never felt the weight being off to the one side while riding the bike. I was having to much fun with it. I have built about 6 bikes in frame and friction drive. Of all the bikes i like this the best.

Nice ride. Simple yet functional and reliable.
