I want to get a huasheng 49cc. I most positively CANNOT afford a ez gear box. I realize that they are the best choice but not now. I realized with EBay I can get a kit for 200$ with free shipping and a 60 day return and since its eBay I won’t have to worry about dealing with shady companies. The kit in question has 100% customer satisfaction and the dealer has good feedback as well. It ships from the U.S. (yes I know it’s made in China). My question is if the engine was going to give me problems, or if the gearbox was going to crap out, would it happen within the 60 days so I could return? I have heard of people getting many many miles on there and I have heard of the boxes breaking at just a few miles. This would be a fun winter project for me to put together and I get that I would have to do maintenance, (carb clean, oil change, regrease/oil gearbox, etc) but if these kinds of gearboxes are really that crappy, perhaps I need a different hobby because currently I cannot afford the ezm. I would have no issue regreasing the gearbox every couple of trips if that would prolong its life. I will link the particular kit I am referencing. Please do not tell me to buy the ezm, I get that its the best but I can not afford that much. My main question is whether the issues would show up right away, or take months to appear. I plan on moderate use (a couple trips a week) just for fun.)
