Default Re: Is GEBE Tanaka 2-Stroke Kit the Best

I don't know anything about the other kit you have listed but I do have the GEBE kit. I have the EHO35 4-stroke engine. I can tell you that has plenty of power. I weigh 250 and it will hold me at 26-27 mph. Since a 2-Stroke has more power I imagine the Tanka 40cc would really fly.

I'll admit the GEBE is a bit pricey. Is it worth it? I don't know. I guess it depends on how you want to use your bike. It looks like the BEC setup would probably have a fair amount of resistance should you wish to pedal w/o the motor. If you plan to ride your bike w/o the motor running you may want to take this into consideration. I can tell you that the GEBE kit is very easy to install and remove (except perhaps the spoke ring). The components seem very durable.
