Hello everyone,

Ive noticed that the Skyhawk GT5 engine kit seems to be out of stock just about everywhere.

GRUBEE 2010 SkyHawk GT5 66cc/80cc Slant Head Bike Motor Kit (Standard Finish)
Silver Grubee StarFire 66/80cc Bicycle Engine Kit EPA Certified BikeBerry.com
Grubee SkyHawk GT-5SR SUPER RAT Silver 66/80cc Angle Fire Bike Engine Kit EPA Ce BikeBerry.com
Grubee GT5 80/66cc Silver SkyHawk Bicycle Engine Kit
Jet 80cc 2 Stroke Bicycle Motor -Jet 80cc 2 Stroke Bicycle Engine Kit (if you add it to cart and check the cart it will tell you none are available)

Any idea why this may be the case?

It's kind of a big deal to import these kits, they come all the way from china, have the pass through customs, you need to pay import fees and pay the EPA a large sum of money to allow you to import them. Being the end of the season for much of the country perhaps companies are having a hard time justifying the cash outlay to import a large container full of kits right now... That's my guess.....

Best bet right now is probably a reseller, smaller company that bought some stock and still has some on hand, or ebay. The bigger dealers all seem to be out of stock right now, but you could call them anyways and ask them directly if they have "ANY" kits in stock. For some reason the kit sellers tend to put on their website all sorts of kits that are discontinued and out of stock, and leave those links up there forever, even when some kits are in stock it can be hard to find them after clicking a half dozen "Out of Stock" links you tend to give up!

pistonbikes.com has the Jet kits in stock.
they are a good company to deal with and a site sponsor.
Maybe better than a SkyHawk in my opinion......
