Default american chain drive

Has anybody used these kits? The clone 48cc 2 stroke looks interesting for the price. Is there a freewheel? Can you still pedal without the motor running? Any experiences anyone has had would be helpful.
thanks
Nate

I am guessing that no logic was used, and complete ignorance took over. Can anyone tell me why someone would say 'never go grubee,' I am curious?

Thanks

I guess that is one persons opinion only. I have no opinion on them as I've never bought one.

I would recommend a real Titan from Thatsdax over one of these american chain drive units for a lot less money though...It's a 50cc four stroke.

I have a Grubee 66cc, it seems fine. But I've only had it for a month. No probs except for a snapped bolt.

I just bought I grubee starfire Gen II, with the steel lined cylinders, bigger bearings, and the new flange mounted carb!

I was reading that someone claimed a 25% power increase over the previous Grubee hawk 2 stroke kits. I cannot wait, Until I read this...
But now I am excited again.

BTW I bought from usabikemotors.com, from Tuscon, AZ. Customer Service has been Great!

THANKS ALL

i run a grubee 48cc and i love it, had no problems mechanically or otherwise... i did break the alloy engine mount from over tightening when i first installed it, but that is probably a problem all across the board
