| |  How can I get a 2-stroke kit in California?
I've been looking for a 2-stroke kit for my cruiser bike but it seems nobody ships to California because of some obscure California Air Resources Board law. Does anyone know a way around this law, or a shop that ships to California? I don't want to put a 4-stroke engine on my bike because they just don't look good and they're too expensive anyway. |

Hi,
Order from BikeBerry, that's where I bought mine a few months ago. Besides, the sell Grubee engines, which are great. Good luck.

I believe Thatsdax ships to cal, at least I see no disclaimer stating he doesn't. I ran into the same problem ordering mine, ended up ordering from zone8, but they are kind of pricey. I think spooky tooth might be another that will ship to cal.
Edit: just read bikeberry and it says, "Due to regulations no California Residence buyers". I'm not sure if they just say that and will still ship or not, I haven't tried.
I'm really tempted to buy another just in case cal. out right bans all sales of them.

Have the kit shipped as bicycle parts....how are they going to know?
Too bad the Republik of Kalifornia has to be such a pain in the rear end.

I love cal, but the green movement here does go a bit overboard.

Ok, maybe that green movement is moving in the right direction in cal.
