Hi!
I would just like to thank you for the service
and great products you make and sell. Gas
is over $3.00 a gallon here in So. Oregon
and my bike (Gary Fisher Joshua) with the
Golden Eagle kit on it is going to be real
nice at the gas pumps. I hardly use my big
gas hog as long as I have my sweet Golden
Eagle equipped bikes to ride.
I have about 2000 miles
on my Tanaka 26cc
kit and have had no problems
at all and I
weigh 230 pounds. I love
the Tanaka 26cc
kit for just cruising around
and getting
some exercise to boot.
It is just so smooth
and reliable and the 11
tooth gear is perfect
for a heavyweight like
me. It will still
go 28mph on the flats and
about 32 slight
down hill.
Lots of hills and trails here in Oregon so
I set up a second bicycle with a Robin (40cc)
two stroke 2 horse power commercial engine.
The Robin 40cc has a bit more vibration but
a lot more power for trails and hills. The
14 tooth drive gear is perfect. It does need
the 36 spoke wheel and drive ring due to
the power put out by this monster of an engine.
Gets about 130mpg but it is still new. I
am sure the Tanaka 40cc that Golden Eagle
sells is a great smooth engine just like
the Tanaka 26cc. With the 40cc I have enough
power for a small trailer for my golf clubs
or fishing tackle.
The parts I ordered fit and worked perfectly
with this engine (Robin 40cc). I gained a
couple of miles per hour but more importantly
(to me) I have much better hill climbing
ability now. If you have not done so yet
you can add this motor to the list of motors
that will work with your kits. This engine
uses the 76mm clutch and drive assembly.
These are the pictures of my Golden Eagle
equipped bicycle. A very powerful, economical,
smooth ride. Works perfect on my Gary Fisher
Joshua. With gas prices set to rise why not
equip your bike with a Golden Eagle bicycle
drive kit and have fun, save lots of money,
get some great exercise.
This is a win win deal for sure. Thanks Golden
Eagle, with the exercise I am now getting
you may have just saved my life. I have a
heart condition and need the exercise to
help me stay alive and with the power assist
I get from the engine I can still enjoy my
bicycle and I plan to ride for at least another
30 years. I always wear a helmet and use
a rear view mirror attached to my glasses
to watch for vehicles coming up behind me.
Always ride defensively and obey all the
traffic laws just like you were in a car.
Have fun fun fun!!!
Have a good one and keep
the shinny side
up. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Vernon
