I'm totally excited about this new world of motor-bicycling. I'm in Tucson, AZ. and can hardly wait to get on down these desert roads. My bike is nearly ready to go... however I've come up with a glitch. I can't seem to get the clutch to disengage to have the bike free wheel... as it turns out the tech department at Gas Bike aren't available in the afternoons for advise and I'm looking at Monday morning before they are available for a consultation. The salesperson tell me there may be a trick
involved with the chaindrive and clutch release on a brand new motor... though he didn't know it. I'd much rather be

and

, than

. I new to this forum also... any assistance would be great!
Happy trails, cheers, Dugo

Welcome Dugo. There will always be some drag from the chain and clutch when it's working properly. If you need to pedal a long way, remove your chain with the master link.
Ditto the recomendation to attend the SpookyTooth Death Race.
