249 kit from gasbike yes or no....

[brown]

I am starting to get interested in these 4 stroke kits with the belt drive transmissions. Is the more than one brand available with the belt drive? It there is please let me know the facts. I don't want this to become a pissing match. Just give me any links or info you have. I cam make up my own mind which one I like.

If you bought a kit and have it installed I would like to know the performance.

I don't care to hear about mounting issues or the cheap hardware. I change all that stuff for every bike I build anyway.

There is the 4G series as discussed in this thread, EZMotorbike Q-Matic and newer EZMotorbike Q-Matic Pace Setter.
http://ezmotorbike.com/

The EZM kits are touted to be better suited for all day crusing than the 4G's.
The 4g's have a reputation of more off the line power due to the gearing, but top out slower.
The new Pace Setter has different gearing than the earlier Q-Matic that is supposed to give a little more off the line and hill climbing power and not sacrifice top speed abilities.

The EZM web site does offer kits for sale but I really do not know why. Some folks have reported no sales action at the website. EZM has traditionally sold and continues to sell kits through their dealer network and quite a few members here are dealers.

I am really impressed with my EZM Q-Matic and recommend them.
Never a problem, never a failure, just reliable cruising.

Got it put together thoday, and OOO NOOO.... Give it gas and no go....

Lift the back wheel off the ground and it will spin.... set it down and even full throttle no go.....

Is that one way bearing?????

The belt spins but no pull on the final output shaft......

Dammit.... They are closed till Monday......

I installed the motor and was breaking it end this weekend so far the engine runs great it's smooth and fast... the 80/10 much quieter than my other 100/12 4 stroke motor probably cuz of the rattling Clutch Bell for 5/8" Centrifugal Clutch, you can tell difference when it's idling but really doesn't bother me,....... I live in FL so the roads are flat, so this gasbike motor is great for my stretched cruiser it's fast and fun...... but if you live where there's lots of hills the 4G T-Belt Transmission (5/8" Shaft) 100/12 might be a little better for you.... I love mine that's on the blue bike it's not about speed just cruising I stop at a red light hit the throttle and GO!!.............. 4 stroke engines pay more get more....... The gasbike for $249 so far it's worth it.

Holy low cranks Batman! You must have to plan ahead for corners. That's pretty slick, not exactly my bowl of Cheerios, but a pretty cool build nonetheless!

hey borntofli did u ever get a fix on the bad clutch from gasbike?

the 4 stroke that u helped me put together is a smooth dream ride.

I hope u can adapt that motor to an aftermarket trans. with a clutch that works.
I really wanted to buy another kit from them!! too bad they suck at customer service. I really value customer service because we are so far from most dealers and shipping means a group radar for the fedex guy.

Bikeberry.com sells the clutch you need.

 

[borntofli]

Well I sent my faulty drive to gasbike 2 weeks ago..... They say they never received it.... I will buy a new drive and NEVER EVER order from them again....


Took me a week to actually talk to someone.......

DO NOT BUY FROM GASBIKE....... THEY SUCK..........
