Hi everyone:
Name is Ed ( aka Fyling Scot ).
Really more of a straight up pedal biker but decided to put a motor on a bike for my girlfriend.
I found a used chrome moly steel frame bike which is very light and supposedly more comfortable than aluminum. I didn't like the idea of a single speed with the sprocket bolted onto the left side - seems really hokey to me - so I got a Sick Bike Parts jack shaft kit. I ummed and ahhed about which engine to get and ended up ordering a Grubee kit, the 66c Super Rat. I fell for all of the blurb but just read a post here trashing the supposed enhancements and suggesting that my seals are going to blow.
Just completed my initial test runs today. Starting is tough and that is one of the reported issues with the new Grubee engine. Engine is not idling but I think I just need to do some throttle adjustments.
Suspect I may end up going down to a easier starting more reliable 49cc motor.
Anyway, that's it for now.
