Well, I have had my engine a little over
1 year now, and I have been having so much
fun. I just got a bike computer, and my top
speed on a flat road was 33mph. I think that's
great for my bike because my bike is very
heavy. My top speed going down a big mountain
here was 56 mph. I think that's very fast
for a bike. The new pictures I sent G.E.B.E.
are from a town not too far from me. There
was a big flood here in April 05. They are
from a town called Easton PA. There are pictures
of a fish ladder. You can see how high the
water was by looking at all the leaves in
the fence. Also the water pushed over the
fence and the poles for the fence.
Anyway back to my engine. I have the 2 cycle
25.4cc engine. There are a lot of thing's
I like about this engine. The first thing
I like is the drive ring on the back wheel.
I have a lot of top end power. This drive
ring is 3 times the size of the 48 tooth
sprocket on my old 48cc chain drive engine...I
also like the belt drive on my engine. It
is easy to change a belt. A belt doesn't
make as much noise. In my last review I talked
about that 48cc chain drive engine. I also
talked about how my chain jammed up on that
engine, and that I could not even ride my
bike home. My back wheel was locked up. So
I had to push it home over a mile back to
my house on my front tire. At least if my
belt would break I can still ride home.
But it's been over 1 year and my belt still
has some life left in it. The bad thing about
a chain is it can jam up. It will get all
rusty, and dirty if you don't do a lot of
maintenance on it. But with a belt it's very
low maintenance. Also about those engine's
that drive off the tire. I knew someone who
had one of those engines. I asked him how
it did in the rain/and snow. And he told
me he could not ride in bad weather because
the gear would slip. And he also told me
he went through tires like crazy. So I think
belt drive is the best, because you can ride
in all weather without any problem. We get
a lot of rain and snow here in PA. So I need
an engine I can depend on. There are times
when ill go over 50+ miles from home with
my engine. And I don't think I would trust
going that far with all those other engines.
So to all those great people at G.E.B.E...Keep
up the great work. Your customer support
is excellent. I am one very happy customer.
