Well i have 3,000miles on mine and have only had to change the drive wheel a few times which takes 5mins. I would say they are probally one of the most reliable kits out there. They just got a new drive wheel and i have 300miles on mine and it hasnt even barely worn it out. They are on sale right now for250 but in 2 weeks they are going to go back to 279 i think they are gonna have free shipping though! Good luckHow is bee in terms of reliability?
Thanks man! I am going to buy bee.Well i have 3,000miles on mine and have only had to change the drive wheel a few times which takes 5mins.

a common problem is people try and start the kit with the choke all the way on. the kit does not run with the choke all the way on. Each kit is tested before shipped it should run no problem..I would send bumblebee at [email protected] a email about it.guys, I got my new engine today. I am unable to start it. what should I do?
Did you try the urethane roller..it works alot better..theres a fine line between perfect tension and not. if its perfect it will grab just enough to get you going while your pedaling and then it should fully wind out. good luck friend!Thanks for replying, I tried both, starting at half choke and tightening the string. It is still slipping after that. Also i noticed a small deformation in the roller . I am not sure if it was there from before or because of tightening.
Still its not starting. I tried to crank up for like 2 mins or more. I ll put the new roller and try again.
figure it out yet? hows it running?Thanks for replying, I tried both, starting at half choke and tightening the string. It is still slipping after that. Also i noticed a small deformation in the roller . I am not sure if it was there from before or because of tightening.

Well each kit is tested on a test bike before its sent out to the customer so it has to run... the problem is in the handler not the kit! I bet $10 he figured it out and it runs great! But all kits have there problems even friction drives. its all part of the game! It sounds like he has the old delrin drive wheel on there..i dont like them i like the urethane drive wheels there great! Bee sends them out on there kits now instead of delrin. I had to clean my exhaust out on mine its a got few thousand miles and the screen was just clogged up bad..all kits need tinkering eventually!huh who would have known friction drives have problems to
Its so sparks dont fly out of the exhaust and cause fires..i removed mine and replaced it with a little bit of chore boy and its worked out great for me so far..just wondering what the screen is for?
If your riding along side the road. there can be dry brush laying around..i only thought you needed a spark arester if you rode off road?
