GT1 & GT2 with 5:1 ratio 4G T Belt Drive COMBO DEAL

Dude, you are charging WAY too much!!! You can buy a bike from walmart for $100, and a GRUBEE engine for $150 at gasbike.com, throw them together, (keep in mind building the bikes are half the fun of motorized bikes, the other half is riding) and you get it for $250. Not only that, but the ad is really messy, show a picture, give a BRIEF discription, and a price, thats it. I would recommend selling an engine and a bike together cheaper, but if your selling to a guy that wants to commute and not fix it, Use a high quality bike (TREK makes great bikes, they can be had for $350.) and a higher quality engine (grubee is NOT high quality, no matter what they tell you, dax sells these engines called titans, they are THE BEST I have ever seen, they cost $400 for a kit, but they are worth it.)

Just some advice, hope I helped. Ride hard

Mojo,

I’m going to have to disagree with you in areas. I have done numerous builds... I can tell you that you are right in the fact that the build is half the fun... on the other hand... I have gotten over half my experience dealing with friends and others that did not have fun doing it, and almost scrapped their projects completely out of frustration.... Not all of us are capable of doing these projects... and some are willing to just pay to have it done right, so they can just have the fun of riding it.....

Where i disagree with you is the bike.... You’re getting what you pay for man..... I understand a budget, but the bicycle is the last place someone should try to make these things more affordable. I have done two recent builds on the GT1, and can tell you that it is now the bike i recommend to others to be motorized.... why?... because it was engineered to do so. Heavy duty frame, wheels, spokes, hubs, two rear brakes.... V-brakes (please god never do caliper brakes), sprocket preinstalled PERFECTLY (this is the biggest safety concern... have you ever been whipped by a chain that has snapped due to a sprocket being slightly out of “true” at 40MPH? DON’T underestimate the value of this feature of the bike), it also has shocks that make the ride much more enjoyable. I hope you understand now, why they cost more.... I have built on a Walmart bike a couple times too... went well for me.... but i spent more like 160 plus tax.... it wasn’t heavy duty or anything, and i had to do the full installation, and i got whipped by a chain at 40 mph (my fault obviously).... but it functioned.... their cheaper bikes (assuming we’re talking beach cruisers) tend to have shorter frames (huffy cranbrook), coaster brakes (this WILL get you killed with an engine with power), or caliper brakes (might as well use your feet sliding on the ground).

I have only used Grubee’s 4G.... I can’t tell you about DAX’s... but I definitely feel like I am getting what I paid for.... I sold my 2 stroke the day i test rode a friends 4g... and smile every time i ride it...

I hope this is helpful..... sorry for the length.... I just felt it necessary to tell you these things, because if you are thinking of going with the 4G or comparable kit, your satisfaction, safety or LIFE are in jeopardy if you cut go with a bike you can get for 100 dollars.... brakes are most important... the rest is just gravy because you’re bike will last you, and withstand the toll of an engine.... good luck with you build however you do it Mojo... be safe

little more... as for price... Terry is the lowest i’ve seen... had i not gotten my stuff before i saw his prices... i would have gone with him... i paid about 150 more than what he charges... and I’m very satisfied for what i got for how much I paid... Terry actually has actually given me customer support on some of these threads knowing he hasn’t made a dime off of me.... so i can’t imagine what it would be like if i actually gave him money.... but seriously.... good luck Mojo.... hope either way you go, you enjoy your build

I have put over 2500 miles on a Cranbrook with absolutly ZERO problems.Bad installation is the cause of most problems,in my opinion.And my current bike has close to 8000 miles 25.00 flea market Roadmaster.But I do agree that for most it is worth buying a good bike.

my point, is that you should offer more for the money. Lets compare your deal, it costs $620... If you buy a TREK bicycle, (no non-bikeshop bike can compete,) and a TITAN (everyone knows titans are awesome) and make a build ( you have done enough building to put it together in a couple hours, right?) heres the price.,.
Bike $300
Engine $200
Mounting Hardware\etc $70
Installation $50 (here is where you make your profit )

And you create a much higher quality product, sell it for $620 total, (or more, your call) and make a nice $50 profit in a couple hours

Hope I sorted it out, Ride Hard

Terry, sorry your getting so much critizism.

Anyway, in the video of the "Felt MP" on your site, do you sell just that headlight? And if so, would it work with a 2-stroke kit?

Zip code is 06375 (Quaker Hill, Connecticut, US). Don't go breakin' up your kit though like that as I'm still evaluating a few other options.

Not the lighting specifically, just the bike.
