I nabbed an 80cc EK from Bikeberry over a month ago. Finally finished installing it on a Giant MTB. Since I don't have much experience with small engines, I took my time to do it right the first time.
I couldn't believe the thing actually works. The printed instructions were badly translated and written for a garden tiller, not a bike. So, I had to go back to BikeBerry for the real instructions. Very funny, guys.
I went the extra step of blowing another $50 for KREEM, fuel tank liner. After reading some of the post on the other motor bike forum, I probably could have save 50 bucks for beer.
On the first ride, I was scared the whole thing would come flying off and break my legs. Since that didn't happen, I took it for another ride to figure out where I can improve on the vibration. I suspect most of it will go away after the break-in. I was not exactly careful with the gas/oil mixture. So, I am a bit concerned about that.
On the second ride, I rolled in traffic to help out with a community garden, carrying a shovel. It was a lot of fun!
I am reading as much I can to reduce vibration, and increase speed to around 30mph for the longer rides. I want to hook-up with other gas bikers around Tulsa, OKC, and NWA, for rides, swap tips/stuff, pick up chicks, and drink lotsa BEER. Am I bad?
