Thanks for the great phone based service
before I ordered my Robin/Suburu 4 cycle
kit. The install was straightforward and
easy. I only had to bend one of the brackets
a few degrees for a perfect fit on my new
Novara metro (REI) which I bought specifically
for this project.
I replaced the quick release
axle with the
solid axle I ordered from
GEBE. This took
almost as much time as
it took to install
the kit (brackets, engine,
and cables). I
had to run to the bike
shop to buy a 15mm
cone wrench to replace
the quick release
axle. Other than the cone
wrench ($7.00)
I needed only the standard
tools I had around
the house for the install
... Nice design
on the kit! Oh, by the
way the engine started
on the first pull out of
the box.

I have four bikes: a titanium
road-bike,
a folder, an electric bike,
and my GEBE.
I'm going to replace two
of my bike since
I've gotten my GEBE running.
It's a dream
to ride. Austin, Texas
has moderate hills
and I have not had to pedal
up a hill yet.
I'm surprised by the power
that the Robin/Suburu
puts out. My max speed
is about 30 miles
per hour (on the flat).
Overall I am impressed
with the quality of
the kit ... GEBE obviously
puts a lot of
care into the design, documentation,
and
packaging of the kit. I'm
looking forward
to a whole new form of
transportation.
