Price Increase of Engines

I've noticed the price is up and availability down. Bummer !

Availability down? Ebay is overflowing with engine kits.

I have an idea the EPA is doing a number on 2-cycles. As for price, have you noticed groceries lately? It's all part of the plan to tank our economy so we will be Socialists and totally dependent on the government for our existence. Better grab a small 2 stroke quick so you have transportation to the bread line or wherever you sneak-grow the stuff you eat and build a trailer so you can haul water for your wood-fired still. When the U.N. divides Jeruselem, God will be true to his word and destroy those nations That's US.

I noticed lately it seems these little 2 stoke China engines cost more than they did a year ago. Does anyone notice this as well? Is everything going up in price? Also does anyone know why zoombicycles cannot sell to US anymore? I purchased 2 from them last year, they were the cheapest, even cheaper than folks on old e bay. Looks like Canada only sells. Guess US started putting heavy import fees on these suckers.

Almost everything cost more today than it did last year. New EPA rules went into effect Jan 1st, that force distributors to have their motor kits certified by the EPA. Cost is believed to be about $50,000 for each model. I contacted Zoom earler this year and they told me they weren't shipping to the US anymore because their motor haven't been certified, and they don't plan to do so. To bad too, because Flying Horse motors are some of the best.

What can I say, you got it right, except god doesn't need to bother destroying us, we're doing too good a job already.
