Golden Eagle's patented geared belt, positive
drive system allows for a more efficient
power transfer, from the engine to the wheel,
over friction drive or gear reduction chain
drives. You do not have to put up with a
big, noisy (oil spitting) engine to achieve
desired performance, speed or pick-up.
Many of our customers are
commuters, disabled
or seniors - GEBE is committed
to providing
reliable, affordable transportation.
Our
2-Stroke and 4-Stroke engines
are extremely
well built for long life,
dependability and
fuel efficiency, while
meeting Carb Tier
II EPA requirements. Coupled
with our efficient,
geared belt power transfer
system results
in the most dependable,
easy to install and
use, best mileage and environmentally
friendly
bicycle assist engine kit
available.
The Golden Eagle mount
kit without the engine is available for you "Do-It-Yourself"ers;
those who can't afford the Best but have
a good engine gathering dust in the garage
and for the 'unfortunates' - deceived by
our competitor's claims. Clean that engine
off and four bolts will attach it to the
GE drive. These Mount Kits without Engine
fit flat-head engines with either a 52mm
or 76mm clutch. **Click for Details** Recycle that engine, put it on the Golden
Eagle drive and learn how that engine really
Wants to perform!
Easy assembly and installation
usually requires
only 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Snap the Drive
Ring on the rear wheel,
install four nuts
and bolts, one screw for
the kill button
and slide the mount strap
into place on the
rear axle. The trigger
throttle clips on
your handlebars for use
with your thumb or
finger, whichever is more
comfortable for
you to use. We recommend
you have front And
rear brakes on your bicycle.
ALL components of the Golden Eagle drive
- mount unit, drive ring, gears, belts, throttle
- are 100% made in the USA - to US standards
and provide American jobs. The mount parts
are stamped US steel with a rust proof coating.
The trigger throttle is spring loaded - pull
on the trigger to go - release the pressure
to slow down or come to a complete stop.
There is no shifting of levers or any type
of clutch movement necessary for stop and
go riding.
The automatic centrifugal
clutch allows engine
to disengage when you let
off on the gas
to slow down, stop or idle
- like the automatic
transmission of your car.
No dangerous levers
to push! Control of bike
can be maintained
at all times with Both
hands on the handlebars!
The Drive Ring is made
of nylon, reinforced
gear material, for long
life and durability.
Fits 24", 26"
or 700c wheels with
32 or 36 spokes. Rotate
the ring over your
wheel until the spoke slots
align with wheel's
spokes, using our 4n1 Ring/Spoke/Gear
Key;
the spokes easily click
into the slots. Securely
fits most spoke sizes from
15 gauge to 12
gauge. **Click here for 'How to' use our 4n1 Key**
With our patented design,
the drive ring
is self centering, there
is no adjustment
- one piece to install
and it doesn't come
off easily. The Drive Ring
requires 1 1/4
inch between the rear fork
and the spokes
for proper clearance. **Click here for How to measure**
The geared Drive Belt is
Kevlar reinforced
for long life and durability.
Although most
of our customers find the
belt will last
for more than a year, riding
style dictates
belt life. Breaking strength
of 1280 lbs.
Extend the life of your
belt, reduce stress
and pedal a stroke or two
as you take off
or accelerate.
The unit comes with a custom
molded Safety
Cover for the moving parts.
One eighth inch clearance is required on
each side of the axle for the Lower Mount
Strap, a total of 1/4 inch. There is ample room on most bike axles
for the lower mount strap.
The GEBE mount kit will
fit even the larger
diameter tire sizes - up
to 26 x 2.125

| Why is Geared Belt Drive better than Friction
or Chain Drive? |
- No excessive tension, friction or vibration
to cause bike parts to fatigue, engine to
wear out or burn tires up.
- The geared belt is a more efficient (and
less expensive) method of transferring power
from engine to wheel - ever wonder why motorcycle
manufactures now use the geared belt?
- Better traction under any conditions: rain,
puddles, muddy roads, snow, sand, trail riding
or on the road.
- No rollers to rub hole in tire, especially
when wet - even 'morning dew' wet..
- Pressure is evenly distributed to the entire
wheel not just the tire; Will not cause the
rim to warp or excessive tire wear.
- Positive drive system allows for more efficient
power transfer from engine to wheel.
- Simple, Easy to change drive gears for multiple
riding conditions - No adjustment or re-alignment
required.
- Our smaller, Quieter, lighter engines yield
much better gas mileage And performance!
- Easy to engage belt tension lever for pedaling
or engine use.
- No dangerous lever on handlebar to impale
rider.
- No heavy gear boxes to add excessive weight
and suck up the engine's power.
- Our Lightweight, Trim unit sits well within
the pedal crank and below the seat.
- No limitation of tire selection: aggressive,
trail or street.
- You can even keep your fender, you can't
do That with a friction (scrubber) drive.
- GEBE's well balanced design allows use of
kickstand that came with your bike.

| Since Golden Eagle entered the scene a few
years ago, we've watched our competitors
claims double on performance but they still
use the same engines(?). Their units have
jumped from 120mpg and 25mph to 200mpg and
45mph - BUT, there have been No changes to
the mount and they still use the same engines(?).
How'd they do that? GEBE lists the Total
weight - engine and mount - they only list
engine weight. We post performance of our
engines with a 200+lb rider and DB's are
measured 3ft (or distance from engine to
rider's ear). You can count on receiving
performance within 5% of GEBE claims. |
