Hi,

I have had two GEBE machines and but for the first one being stolen I have no complaints about either of them. On balance I think I actually prefer the Zenaoh engine - its a little more forgiving on starting and I think if anything a little stronger and gives more torque, although that could have been because it was on a MTB frame.

I have nothing but praise for GEBE . I am curious now as to getting hold of a Chengine so if anyone has one going second hand for fairly cheap (money much I dont have) then let me know

Jemma xx

We'll send it when we send it.
That didn't make me have much faith in them. I hope it runs ok. Or at lease better then the operations.
i ordered on that same day and i was a little disappointed too, but last week we got tired of waiting and asked for the money back and Grady refunded to PayPal account darn near immediately, so i still would have confidence dealing with them.

i would have preferred my engine kit delivered somewhere near that 10 business days or an explanation after a month of waiting, but again, i must say they took care of us right away when we got tired of waiting. i was impressed by that.

* From member WALTER F. *

Alright here goes>> XYZ Bikes <xyzbikes.com> located in California. This is where I bought my bike a chopper/cruiser for $155.00 FedEx to Connecticut was $104.00. Bike arrived on time, undamaged and was all there. What else can I say, I would buy from them again yes! In fact they got a "trike" I got my eye on.

Zoombicycles <zoombicycles.com> This is where I bought my engine. They are RUIHONG ENTERPRISES LTD. located at 7678 Winston St. Burnaby, B>C> V5A2H4. Customer Service Phone !-877-565-6888. Engine arrived last Friday on time and undamaged. As near as I can tell it is all there and there are basic instructions with the kit in English. I have not run the engine yet or run into any problems for dealer to solve so I guess I'll give them a provisional OK for now, this will be an ongoing review.

BicycleDesigner.com located in California (Redding I think) This is a site for stuff for the bike, mirrors,seats,lights, ect. I have ordered a few thing s and they should be here tommorrow. I'll keep you posted Walter F.

I just got my engine kit from Dax. It was ordered 05/30 and it arrived 07/08. Some of the parts needed to be modified and one screw was stripped when it arrived. I have a terrible rattle in the exhaust. I sounds like a nut is loose inside of the muffler can. It makes it when the engine is off if I shake the bike. I don't know. The kill switch is a momentary "ON" switch. I'm not sure how to wire it to the blue wire to kill the motor.
Overall, the kit was OK. All parts were there and the engine started on the second try. That says alot.

Spooky Tooth Cycles:

Ordered the fully assembled bicycle. Arrived as described and final assembly took all of about 30 minutes. Pedals, handlebars, front wheel, seat and tank. Packaging and shipping was very proffesional, no damage upon opening. 5 stars out of 5

Customer service left a little to be desired. Very hard to get in contact with over the phone and several phonecalls/messages went unreturned. Seems e-mail is the best form of communication. Was told 3 weeks on delivery which included build time, recieved the bike 5 weeks later. 3 1/2 stars

Pricing was very reasonable, bike + engine kit + labor to fully assemble and test. 5 stars

Everything being said, I would definitely do business with them again. Other than the normal chain tensioning and tightening of bolts I have had zero problems with the bike over about 10 hours and 60 miles of ride time. After the 3rd week my excitement level was dropping after repeatedly not seeing a tracking number in my e-mail. However, I have to admit, that excitment returned and remains after finally getting it and taking my first ride. I've got 2 other people about 85% commited to ordering a bike of their own.

I'd also like to commend Roland and his company for their effort getting motorbikes legalized in Tucson. He definitely does more than just make and sell motorized bicycles.

Default Re: what do i look for in a bicycle engine kit

Packeryman says hello. I am new at this bike game. I purchased a CH 80 from Chris Hill. He shipped the kit immediately. I followed assembly instructions on his site post and had it running in about 5hrs. I had a couple of questions and he responded right away. The engine runs great and this guy was a pleasure to do business with. It is very flat here on North Padre Island and I have had no way to measure the speed yet. It has a 44 tooth sprocket and seems to run faster than the quality of my brakes will allow for a safe ride. Thanks again Chris
