well screw my crappy 2 stroke moped!!

You are lucky if you have a dealer, especially a good one, near you. I think you will be pleased with this form of transportation. It is much more fun than any other I have. It does take some time to tweak and it ends up being an addiction. I live on somewhat of a mountain myself. My bike is a stretch cruiser and I can still do about 18mph all the way home with no pedaling.

18mph??? my ht did 28mph the full time, i hope this 4 stroke isnt slow like my moped! i had an ht so im no n00b to MB's just to 4 strokes,

I'm wondering if you are expecting more from a motorbicycle than is realistic. If you were able to hit 28mph all the time, even up hill, that's not so bad is it? Maybe what you need is a motorcycle and not a bicycle with a motor on it. Or maybe you need to change the rear sprocket size to up the top end speed some. How big a rider are you? I'm 200 pounds and have no trouble getting up to the low to mid 30's with stock motors and stock kit sprockets on two different bikes, both 68.CC. In my mind 30 mph or so on a bicycle is about as fast as you would want to cruise along for any length of time even if the motor will do more. It is a bicycle after all is said and done. As the Irish say, "It is what it is."

There are a lot of variables here. When I say I live on a mountain, I mean that. Not a hill. Also, I have my bike geared a little high for speed. Most of my ride is not hills, so I prefer to go faster when I can. My bike is a little heavier than most. My rear end is probably a little heavier, also. I personally don't like 2 stroke engines, so I can't give you a comparison. I have only had 4 stroke kits.

Another thing to consider is the hoot gearbox is geared pretty high, which means that your top end is going to be low with the supplied drive gear. I could take off without pedaling with the hoot and the 50t gear. I think it was a 50t that was supplied. I think my top end was around 28-30mph on flat ground WOT. I would have to say that 28 or better uphill for a long distance doesn't sound realistic for a bicycle.

Our kits come with a 44 tooth sproket and replacment crank for your bike.

Cool Linnix, you got the dealer to drop in!!! I have to say to you Motor Boys, we are glad to see you here. Welcome to the forum. Are you going to take care of our friend after he buys one of your kits?

yes indeed it is a bicycle with a motor, not a motorcycle, the strike going on now makes it imposible for me to get a licence otherwise i would be driving my car and not building mb's exept for a hobby, my 2 stroke 66cc HT hit 40kph(24mph) as a cruising speed and that was good for me, it would do 55kph if i pushed it but i didnt want to blow the engine, it would do about 35kph on the hills and on the steep hills i would just pedal along, i dont expect much, i just hope this kit will do 40kph and have some decent hill climbing power, i have seen people claiming that these engines do 35mph but i doubt that, 24mph is good for me,

this was my bike btw

with a 44tooth that should be some decent speed, im looking for power though, 30mph on the flats at WOT is plenty!! i only want 24mph! so im going to see if motorboys has a 50t and a 55t i can buy extra just to see what i prefer, but if it does 30mph(48kph) on the flats just tached then thats what my HT did, the hills it dropped to abut 15-22mph depending on the stepth of the hill(is stepth a word??? it is now!!!)

i want the convenience of gas at the pump, no smoke, and no 100db screaming!!

sometimes i think we forget that our bikes have peddles that actually work! (unlike my sad sad little moped) best cure for a steep hill!
