To the staff at Golden Eagle Bicycles:
Wanted to thank you guys for creating such
a wonderful kit that is easy to assemble,
modify and a real pleasure to ride. I bought
one of your kits about a year ago and have
not had any problems. Although the level
of design of the kit was superb, I felt the
need to improve on it. I decided to build
a show bike that would actually have the
motor fit within the confides of the frame
eliminating the original way of having a
bracket and motor above the wheel. I took
an angel plate mounted it underneath the
seat. Rotated the tensioner and gear plate
90 degrees with the belt tensioner disengaged.
Drilled and reamed on a washer to make a
tight pressed fit on the belt, raise or lower
angle plate and install washers accordingly.
Once the right enough tension on the belt
is set, there is no need to adjust anymore.
If the should happen to wear out or break,
I have it easy enough to change belts. Simply
unscrew nut to where bearing is at. Remove
bearing and belt. Put new belt on with bearing
and nut and you're up and running again.
By setting up belt and tensioner this way,
I've eliminated slippage of belt. The best
part of it all is that I have an improved
mph increase in top speed. I guess I must
have done something right. I won the 2005
Autorama World of Wheels Best of Show in
class Custom Scooter. Thanks again for making
an outstanding product.
Sincerely,
Keith Aumiller |
