This is a picture of my
Komatsu Zenoah/RedMax
25cc, 2-stroke Golden Eagle
Bicycle Engine
installed on my new Schwinn
Southport Men's
Cruiser Bike. The install
went great; the
kit went on like it was
made for the bike.
I first had it installed
on a Mongoose mountain
bike and it worked great,
however I am more
a cruiser guy. I like the
big seat and the
laidback riding position,
its “old school”.
This setup provides comfort
and attitude,
and I think it looks great.

I had to fabricate a brace
to hold my Topeka
rack and my bag with drop
down panniers.
I used anodized aluminum
and stainless steel
fittings. It went on pretty
easily and fills
my needs.
The fun I have had with
this bike is beyond
explanation. I top out
with the wind behind
me on a slight downhill
road at 32.5 mph,
but on the flats it cruises
at 25-28 mph,
fast enough to satisfy
an old guy who grew
up on a Honda 750 in 1969.
Fast enough on
a bicycle.

Today I rode my bike 22.5 miles. I averaged
19.6 mph (a lot of stop
and go in town);
with a top speed of 32.1
mph (the wind was
with me). I had a blast,
and my little green
machine did all this on
a little less than
˝ of a tank, or about 10
oz of gas. When
you do the math, that’s
around 281.6 mpg
and that is outstanding.
I enjoy it so much that
I set one up for
my wife and I really think
she likes buzzing
around the neighborhood
on our Golden Eagle
Cruiser bikes. The looks
we get from everyone
are so cool; I think they
like our bikes
as much as we do.

I would recommend a Golden
Eagle to anyone
that wants to enjoy the
outdoors without
working too hard, don’t
get me wrong you
will get all the pedaling
you want, but when
you want to go home you
can motor.
I like this little bike
engine more and more
the longer I have it.
Just a couple of other
items that helps keep
me safe.

- Extra Gas for that long ride home
- A really good headlight for riding at nightand
big mirrors
- And big mirrors to keep an eye on the cars

I want to send a big thanks to Julia and
everyone at Golden Eagle Bicycle Engines. |
