Hey guys, so I need a relatively cheap, very easy, and reliable build, and I found some kits on Staton Inc.

I'm 150 pounds, need it for a good amount of hill climbing, and 25mph would be nice so I decided on the FDR-427 China made Mitsubishi TLE43 clone with 42.7cc 1.676HP Kit with a 1" roller.

I'm thinking of either putting it on a cruiser (I just love them) or a mountain bike with a front suspension (more practical).

So what do you guys think? I really need it to be reliable and for someone with not much mechanical experience/knowledge.

~Edit: Also any tips on how to quiet this engine?
