I read here somewhere that the Schwinn Meridian trike is a good choice to use with the GEBE setup. It looks like it will be a lot more comfortable for commuting and MUCH better for shopping. I need to know how to go about mounting the motor since the GEBE brscket will not work. Can the GEBE bracket be modified or will I need something totally different? Also, what kind of expense am I looking at here?
The GEBE 32cc Tanaka is absolutely fantastic! Using more gas than I expected though, but that might improve as it breaks in. I'll have a closer idea after I run out the 2 gallons I have, but it looks like I'm getting maybe 100-120 MPG. I hit 32.2 MPH on the level today and a steady cruise speed of 29-30 MPH. With my cold weather gear and backpack for work, I weigh in at 255-260 Lbs., so I am quite pleased with the performance so far.
I have had one (possibly expensive) disaster already. Dismounting from the bike, my heel hit the air filter housing and busted it all to ****. Epoxy did not work for repairs and GEBE is special ordering a new one for me.
