if you remember my post about that moped,,, it runs great and is very reliable, but its to slow and underpowered, it does 25kph on the flats and wont go up any hills, so i am getting a 4 stroke bike engine kit!! there selling them half an hour away from my house, for $230!
Motor Boys

im going to get one, i have a few questions though, how would that engine compair to my 80cc(66cc) 2 stroke engine, my basic knowledge would say that a 49cc 4 stroke would have much much less power than the 66cc 2 stroke? how fast would that 4 stroke engine be? is it reliable? ive heard bad things about the gearboxes, will i be ok? thanks,

Looks like a Huasheng and Hoot GB. The engine is OK but the GB is bad news unless they have made some improvements.

whats the main problem with the gearbox? stripping teeth? bearings??

why do they sell them if they break real quick? everyone says the gearboxes are junk but what makes them that way(china!!)

Yes...............

Mostly it is the poor metallurgy. Some parts are too soft and deform and some are too brittle and crack. It really is too bad because the basic design is actually pretty nice.

so no cure? is it a waste of 230 bucks? cant i keep it lubricated and make it last? nothings salvageable?

You can try but I would check out Bicycle Engines, Motorized Bicycles, Bicycle Motors, Motored Bikes: 2-Stroke & 4-Stroke Kits!, for just a little more money you can get a much better set up. There are also other GB option out there, EZ and Firebelly just to name a few.

Yes, that one would be a waste of 230 bux.

all i know is he is very close, and i had a 2 stroke ht and although it lasted along time i just dont like the loud 2 stroke buzz and the clutch, i think im going to get that 4 stroke, i will ride it for a looooong time in the first month, if it breaks i will return it and get a refund,
