Well there goes that idea, I guess Dax is the only game in town when it comes down to a reliable 4 stroke, I'm just not to into the rear mount set ups. |

Buzz rear mount isnt going to affect the feel or the handling of the bike at all, to me its easier to work on also. I have a rear setup friction drive with the honda 50cc and am very happy with it except in wet weather. That dax setup is going to be my next kit some day and the 50cc motor that comes with it I havnt seen anything thats said thats not reliable about it...... |

That gearbox is described as chain drive while the Hoot is gear drive. Also BGF mentioned that his Hoot type box has been upgraded and is more reliable.
Is it possible time has come for 4 stroke setup that don't cost a grand?
BTW rear mount engine affects handling BIG TIME! Not in a good way. |

The Grubee gearbox is good (it better be- it's my 16 mile ride home today). The EZM seems good from all accounts. Some have even had a bit of success with the chain drive Hoot...but I have not heard enough good to endorse it. |
