I am going to try to post a poll here! Please vote in this poll ONLY if you have experience with a GEBE system. You can vote for No Opinion - Show me the poll if you just want to see the results.
I would like a GEBE motor for installation on a Giant Sedona, which is sort of a mild mountain bike that works well on the street. It has a front suspension and a seat post suspension. 26" mountain bike style wheels, no rear suspension.
My priorities in order:
1. Quiet
2. Reliable for long distance rides (40 miles or more)
3. Some hill pulling power, although there are no really steep hills here
4. Light enough not to affect bicycle handling
5. No too much vibration
6. Prefer low end power on trails to high top speed but its a compromise, it has to go fast too
I will be riding some streets in town, but mostly country roads. Asphalt, gravel and two track trails through the state forest. It should work good on the two track trails because those are the most fun. There could be a lot of bumps and bounces on the trails. There will be a lot of long stretches of country roads running flat out too. I would like to be able to add some panniers and go bike camping, with the rider at 250lb, and maybe 30lb of gear.
I am open to either 2 stroke or 4 stroke. Not sure if a big one is better for me, or a small one, or in between. What say ye?
Edit to add:
Multiple choices are permitted.
