EZM "Q"-matic production started

Hi Everyone,

Accepted final bids on Q-Matic yesterday!

Scheduled delivery 3 weeks.

Aluminum isn't cheap in the USA!

Thousands and thousands of test miles logged by dealers nationwide.

American labor isn't cheap!

Test riders on the West coast
Test riders on the East coast
Test riders in the South [still warm in many areas]
Test riders in the North [a little colder up there]
Test riders along the Atlantic coast [was only 85 today].
The results are in!
We did it right!

Shipping isn’t cheap!

As hard as we tried, we couldn’t meet the projected MSRP, but only missed by $9.75.
The MSRP is $259.75. No matter how hard we tried to bargain, the American labor force simply wanted paid for their services and quality materials.

The Q-Matic drive was tested on a variety of 4-stroke motors from 35 CCs to 8 HP. It has been tested up hills, against the wind, and with riders from 100 pounds [thanks Ladies] to over 300 pounds. It has and is currently still being tested pulling a trailer in a hilly terrain [Thanks, Bill]. Thanks again Bill for projecting the motorbike as a family friendly form of transportation.

We listened when many requested ease of service, KISS [keep it simple stupid], quality parts, good warranty, silent operation, easily changeable drive ratios, a real working dependable “custom” American made automatic clutch, thin design, adaptability, and maintain backwards compatibility.

The entire system was designed and then machined on CNC equipment in American shops.

Because of design the majority of the power is transmitted from the motor to the rear wheel, and therefore the Q-Matic drive ratios allow better use of the power band.

The production drive ratios will allow the speed of 30 MPH at 6200 RPMs on a 26” bicycle with an average weight rider on a level surface. Considering the ability of the HS or Honda 49 CC 4-strokes to achieve RPMs well above 7500 RPMs, 6200 RPMs is just right for a smooth ride.

Ratios can easily be changed for heavier riders or to compensate for hills.

The Q-Matic and the future Silent Drive II can be attached to most motors with the output to the rear [for frame mount], and 90 degrees downward for rack mount applications [We don’t supply rack mounting systems].

Did I mention the Aluminum? Lots & lots of Aluminum in the Q-Matic drive by EZM.

$259.75 MSRP
EZM dealers can answer your questions, call them!

All orders prior to Dec 15th $249.75

Best order quickly because demand should outpace production for a while.

Have fun,

excellent news Quenton !

I am working mine hard and am getting used to an auto clutch

(it is a big difference after 3+ yrs of using a manual)
my daughter is almost ready to ride mine pulling the trailer !!!
(she has refused to even sit on my bike prior to the auto !!!)
I think the ease of use and very low maintenance will make this a huge winner

Not to my knowledge but if other EZM dealers will send me their URLs I'll be more than happy to link to them from EZ Greensboro

I was there but I got there really late. Also, I had just bought my motor and knew nothing of the hobby. Even if i saw it at the death race I wouldn't have know what it was. I've learned a lot since then. I was at the halloween race and saw Roland with the latest Skyhawk 4 stroke. I really what a 4 stroke but am unsure if I should buy his kit (because I'm 30min from his shop), spend the cash for EZM, or wait for Sick bike parts 4 stroke shifter and spend even more. O the choices.....

the choice is clear LOL
go with american designed/made and keep more of the $$$'s stateside

I am now almost 2900 miles on my EZM...
almost 300 with the new Q-Matic trans I upgraded to

(2600m at trans swap)
pulls like a champ and is excellent on gas (175-200mpg)

PS... I would like to make an open invitation to anyone here that can make it to Fountain Hills
contact me and come take a test ride !!!
then, you can judge for yourself
