Just a few quick comments on the production Q-Matic drive system.
The heart of the Q-Matic drive is the MaxTorque automatic clutch.
The MaxTorque clutch is custom engineered to work inside the Q-Matic drive. Unlike other drive sytems, the MaxTorque clutch is supported by very large hi-speed bearings on BOTH ends, not just one side or center support.
The MaxTorque clutch is of course AMERICAN made and a similar version has connected the motor power to the wheels of go-carts across America for almost 40 years. If it can withstand the brutal go-cart rental market it can certainly work on modern day motorbikes.
The MaxTorque clutch supplied to EZM is a special version [costs more] and is not the same unit often advertized on several internet sites.
The Q-Matic drive can be custom tuned for low end torque, or more top end, and the EZM version of the MaxTorque clutch can also be tuned for various idle & top end RPMs.
The Q-Matic will work on low idle & low RPM motors [HF, B&S, Honda, etc]as well as High idle & high RPM motors [HS 142 & Honda GHX].
The Q-Matic can be ordered with custom ratios.
The Q-Matic isn't a CVT drive, or a multispeed system.
The Q-Matic is very light, considering the very heavy duty MaxTorque clutch, and weighs approx. 6.5 pounds. The Q-Matic is only slightly wider than 2" [2 1/16"], and can be slimed to under 2" by altering the belt cover.
The Q-Matic has 4 hi-speed bearings, 2 to support the clutch system and 2 in the idler tension system.
The Q-Matic uses special light weight aluminum alloy [expensive] and will not crack, distort, flex, or tarnish.
The primary is belt driven, and will soon use a custom version, however "off the shelve" belts will work. The secondary is chain, but can be converted to rear belt drive if needed [requires special machine shop modifications].
The clutch isn't mounted on the motor crankshaft, and therefore it doesn't slow down the motors ability to rev as quickly.
The Q-Matic has thousands and thousands of actual test miles logged prior to release.
The Q-Matic belt guard covers all the moving parts in the primary to protect riders & riders clothing [no pants leg connected to spinning parts].
We ship Q-Matics daily across America & Canada. Q-Matic are available via Authorized dealers.
Hope this information is helpful,
