Nope just the standard bike motor.

i have seen many people ask this question so I will try to explain it in depth. The kit comes with a clutch handle and 3 speed shifter in one unit that way if you have a 3 speed bike hub you cna clean up the handlebars a bit.

No the motor does not have gears.

the 3 speed is just a shifter for your bikes gears.

Oh! Yes !! I use My Happy time for a commercial meat grinder all the time.

Low needle setting coarse grind.
Med needle setting medium grind.
High needle setting fine grind .
YUM!

Yeah...I'm going to pick up, let's see, a meat grinder, a sink drain stopper, a baseball bounce back and, oh yeah, a bike motor that is advertised misleadingly.

yeah i thought the engine that said 3-speed were just that,i didnt think it just came with a 3-speed shifter knob built in the clutch handle. i checked out the site,now i get it. there kits come with dual brake handles or 3-speed shifter knobs built it.the engines are regular with 1-speed.
they do have dual start engines in stock and they are great prices.

Thanks for clearing that up guys.. was a bit misleading...
yeah, the prices aren't too bad.. and the horsepower ratings are interesting..
bet they stick it to you with the shipping though.

but, they don't sell parts so.. bleh

the shipping is $30+ for a engine kit at gasbike.net plus they have parts
but they charge a lot even for small parts.
i ordered a $12carb and $3intake $23shipping ups ground= total $38
but everything i ordered came in like 4-5days right to my door by fedex.

my engine kit 48cc dual start was $149 + shipping

i broke a tab on my carb thats why i ordered a new one.

and if you order from the thelashop i would just believe the min hp rating,im not so sure about the max hp rating.but they are honest with the 200-250mpg and 30mph rating.
im getting 32mph and 200mpg,but my engine is not from them.
