Getting one now is by invite only.
Mine arrived yesterday.
I am mounting it on a Grey 26" Micargi Pantera 7-speed as direct drive today.

A real measured 70cc claiming 5hp @~6Krpm.
Oil bath cent clutch for less drag pedaling or riding and no clutch lever.
Built in 12V generator and regulated battery system for lights and such.
Both electric and pull start options.
I have a topic about it here somewhere.

I seen that chainmaker...originally they were just trying to move a few, now they want dealers. They were saying there was a USA warehouse at one point too but never put up an address etc.
The brake drums and forks looked nice, but no prices.

How much was it KC?
I make my own special deals and not at liberty to say bud, sorry, but suffice it to say it's more than a Happy Times POS kit ;-}.

Racie, don't know if you are on FB but that comPany is looking for a US distributor, search for Jack Chen..he is the GM of Jilin Zenda Technology
Apparently BikeBerry ordered a bunch.
They want me to order a bunch too.

I might, got to see for myself and I should have this done today if not Monday as mine is in a new Micargi Pantera I picked up yesterday.












One thing of note is the 4 engine mounting bolts front and rear.
The funky head is part of the cylinder but at a great angle to fit most bike frames.

On the downside, the rear sprocket though nicely made and true, appears to be for #41 chain and not the #415 chain that came with the kit.

I am messing with that now but it should give you an idea what this thing is all about.

Once the drive train is good I'll move to the electronics.
A lot of wires don't scare me, and their are a lot.

More later as the build progress.

It has 'a box' you have to mount somewhere...



It has the CDI designed to mount flat, and if it's any better than average that would be nice.

The 12V regulator is above it, and the electric motor starter coil is on the right.

Anyway, besides the nice manual that is all I have for now.

blew up the pic a bit - rear sprocket looks same as I have on shelf here from older kits - used to have to grind those tooth tips knife-edge sharp to find centers on 415H chain

I know what they offered it at KC..just wondered if you got that deal because they soon went all over the board with quotes etc. is that a wet clutch?

Yes, oil bath clutch, 3L tank, and a busy throttle...



That is not the stock grip, I replace virtually all of my builds with shock absorbing BMX form grips.

The stock hard plastic hand numbing grips were the first thing to go when I started building for sale.
The vibration difference is huge, especially on long trips, and cheap to replace with a new set.

Back to the throttle assembly...
The big red button on top is the Kill button.
Below it the select slider to be in Light mode, or Start mode.
The yellow button at the bottom is the actual start button IF the slider switch is to the right, if it's to the left the external 12V for lights and such is available.

In short, that slider switch devotes every drop of power there is into turning that electric start motor.

It you don't have enough power, you have to suffer the agony to pull start it heheh, still beats having to pedal start it in my book and maybe some others? ;-}

Hiding cable and wiring is high on my list of a quality build.
With something new I 'make it go' first, then find a way to 'make to clean' for lack of a better term, but you know it when you see it ;-}
