The recumbent Infinity is a very light bike
with an aluminum frame and feels like I'm
flying low with the Golden Eagle power assist.
It will easily do 30+ mph on level ground
and feels very smooth. Because the engine
is new I don't want to push it too hard,
so I varied the speed and just briefly run
it up to a high rpm.
The cruiser bike will do 27 mph easily and
probably more if I wanted to ride that fast.
This is the second unit I purchased from
Golden Eagle and really gave it a workout
on a steep hill. I have a few motorized bicycles
and have attempted to climb that same hill
with all of them. This is the first power
assist that made it using there hill climber
gear.
There is no question about it, I am impressed
with this power unit. I did quiet the engine
down, if you look close you can see copper
tubing under the engine. I did a couple of
things with the tubing that has made it VERY
quiet and haven't seemed to have lost any
power. I like the idea of easily changing
gear ratio for very steep hills, and no slipping
on a wet surface as the friction rollers
do. It seems to start easily and run smooth
with good power. All this adds to reliable
and fun transportation at a low out of pocket
cost, which I like.
