Hello all it's been a while since I have been here, but I have a question. I had a frame mounted China girl 49cc a couple of years ago, but got rid of it. It is still running for the old fellow I sold it to, and he runs it daily in the summer. I never liked the messy chain, and was thinking about getting a Daemon 31cc friction mount. What are these like, better or worse than what I had? Our gas prices jumped to $1.149 a litre or about $4.60 a US gallon. I am looking for this for a go to work rig that is about 2 miles one way. My knees are shot or I would just pedal a bike.
