Hey Jay. Welcome to the fray!

I'll first say that the "80cc engines" are not really. They are 67.5cc or so. Can you say advertising hype?

Based on that alone, I'd pick a seller that claims closer to the truth....do a search on ebay for "65cc motorized bicycle engine", that should get you close.

I have the boy go fast one and the engine is the new one (they claim) with the bearings but the other things the throttle and clutch lever were not very good but hey it was cheap. As for the engine itself, I'm not sure that there is a lot difference in the newer kits. there seem to have been two designs. The older one with the bushing instead of bearings and the new one with the yappanese bearings.

I think the engines are so simple that they are pretty much the same to be honest.
