Charged-Reactor,
Sounds like a fair deal and I'm seriously considering it and also the GEBE system unless someone else comes along while I procrastinate. So how simple is it to change out the rollers? Twenty miles isn't much use! You have any issues with this system at all? thanks

I purchased this friction drive because of the engage and dis-engage
option with the lever handle. In stop and go traffic it quickly became
a pain in the ***. So as I was impatently waiting, instead of killing the
engine and peddle up to speed again, I left the motor run and peddle a
little bit and engage with rollers already turning and it spun the tire on
the rim enough to snap the valve stem off the tube. It set in my machine
shed with a flat for a long time before I even got to it ,to replace the tube.
Thats why there is such low milage on it.
The set up can be very frustating if you have not set one up before.
But once you have it set up right it can be very enjoyable as long as you
remember to kill the engine when you are coming up to stop or simply dis-
engage by lever handle and then kill engine. Start peddling again and engage
lever handle again and your on your way........Still interested?

does it need a clutch? most friction drives have a centrifical clutch. That allows you to stop.

I believe that they offer 3-kits. One is called " automatic self
engaging drive, a simple 4 bolts on. The one I have is called " shift
on the fly, handle lever engaging direct drive". A little bit complicated
set up with bending of the support arms to set up. The other kit they offer
is called " automatic centrifical trans-mission clutch", has a pull cord start only.
