Strong Headwinds

I recently did a comparison test with a GEBE Belt Drive 35cc Robin
4-stroke engine and a DE Mitsubishi TLE 43 Roller Drive engine. The
Mitsubishi Roller Drive Friction held up really good while riding in the
headwinds. The Robin 4- stroke belt drive did not. I would have been better
off walking. Our there any solutions to make the Robin 4-stroke to go faster
in the strong headwinds.

you could trade it for a 2-stroke.

Neat Times, yes and I forgot to put in the thread that it is
last years model. In decent weather it is a joy to ride but ride
into a strong headwind it falls flat on its face. I guess it is pretty
much a fair weather ride.

Cr, You Probably Already Know This, They Have Around 4 Different Top Belt Gears (cogged Sprocket Or Sheave) For Power Or Speed. Also You Can Bolt On Any Pocket Motor Up To 52 Cc. A Month Ago I Put A 31cc Honda 4 Stroke On A Friction Dr With 1 Inch Drive Roller, It Was Powerless. You Could Even Bolt On Dax`s 50cc Titan 4 Stroke, His Is The Only 49 Or 50cc 4 Stroke That Will Bolt On In 5 Minutes (that I Know Of). Of Course Your Fuel Milage Will Suffer. There Is A Thread On Here From This Spring With Pics. I Think It Was In Tampa, Fl. A Fellow Had A Hopped Up Golden Eagle System With A Motor That He Turned 17,000 Rpm. He Passed Everybody. I Think I Have A Pic. Ron
