Now the website is gone.

Anyone know where i can get a replacement GEBE clutch drum ? The newer one, black with the clutch drum mounted inside for the bigger 41cc engines and up? Thats all i need to get back online, otherwise?

I may go for a Staton friction drive. Thoughts?

Clutch drums should come in just 2 sizes for our use, vendors catering to MABs. 54mm and 76mm, the shaft is the difference. Staton sells only the clutch drum. Some of our cheaper MAB vendors sell just the clutch drum/shaft for the chinese kits. Just make sure it fits and is the right shaft length and diameter. GEBE was a good kit, shame they closed up.

If you order a Staton kit get the roller that fits your needs. Not real easy to change out and an extra roller isn't real cheap.

I'm sorry to hear about this. I remember the elderly couple who I assumed started Golden Eagle Bike Engines. Dennis was the name of the gentleman. I forgot his wife's name. I like them. They were good to me. GEBE is an excellent kit. It would run 23 or 25 mph. I would spend 5 hours on a bike ride and routinely travel 70 miles with peace of mind because the tanaka pf4000 kit was so reliable and lite weight. The clutch drum, you will have to find an appropriate shaft and have that welded or brazed to a clutch bell. Maybe those pocket bike websites have parts for that or have a machine shop make the shaft. What happened to your clutch drum?

Her name was Julia. You can get belts from 'Texas belt' 1635mm I believe, but I'd need to check my spares to be sure.
Look online for timing gear to match. the largest sold by GEBE was a 14T, but I run 15 or 16T. better grip for my
Tanaka 39cc pure fires. Monster Scooter Parts will probably have a clutch assembly. I'm currently finishing a
2 whl Prius with a 500w bafang mid-drive & a Tanaka GEBE KIt, I also have a solar charging trailer to go with.
I can charge with the trailer as well as the Tanaka engine on the fly with 1 battery in trailer & the other on the bike.
While the modified kit can do nearly 40 mph It's set up for 15 mph @ 3500 rpm For max fuel efficiency to get
over 200 mpg, less with trailer. I'll carry 3 batteries, 2 on trailer. Range is absolutely unlimited & includes good
camping gear, left & right throttles,& a plug & play solar panel as good as a 2 amp charger in good sun. It's been
a real b**ch getting the routing to look decent, but it's almost finished now. I get about 60 miles to a liter of gas
without the trailer on the flat.

I've owned and been riding a GEBE system for years without any problems. Their website was loaded with photos and reviews from hundreds of VERY satisfied customers. In all of your criticism, I don't think you know what you're talking about. No offense... But your comments don't match my extensive experience with the system. I realize you've got your favorite system but that doesn't make you an expert on the GEBE system.
- Update - I just checked my original GEBE purchase date and it was 2008... That's nearly 13 years of trouble free operation. Same belt the whole time. No problems the whole time until this year when I had to rebuild the carburetor and replace gas lines on the Tanaka PureFire 3300 (32 cc) engine. The belts are just timing belts so I bought a spare even though I'm still running the original belt on my bike. Parts for the engine I got from EReplacement Parts online. I don't expect the drive ring to wear out or break so I think my Golden Eagle Bicycle Engine (GEBE) should continue to give good service for at least the next few years.

I love my eagle also, so different from others. I am also on original belt. I have a spare but was interested in getting another. Where to get said Timing belt?

One of the other posts gave the source and belt... "You can get belts from 'Texas belt' 1635mm I believe, but I'd need to check my spares to be sure.

I have the replacement belt but am still using the original that came with my kit. I think we should be able to take the original belt to an auto supply store for measurement and then just order one that way. What's actually needing replacement is my rear tire... It's almost bald from all of the road wear my little Golden Eagle Bicycle Engine (BEGE) has given it.

Love mine too, but my 4210 purefire has a bit more muscle than a 3300. Just a bit too much throttle will slip on a worn 14T gear, WOT
will shred the belt, & it's ugly, looks like a disemboweled snake. I'm riding a 16T for better grip. It's set upto mush 15 mph @ 3500 rpm
a bit above idle for max mpg, engine barely gets warm. I do pedal, but only a slightly more than just rotary foot rests.
