GEBE Question

[michaelblackwood]

Hey everyone!
I'm gunna get myself a motor!
So far I think a Golden Eagle Bike engine and mount would be the go.
I want a 4 stroke.
but GEBE only has engines up to 35cc in 4 stroke whilst my local legistation allows up to 40cc. so im wondering because The motors look like your normal Whippersnipper motors, could i just get any motor and slap it on the gebe mount kit? or do GEBE mount kits require a specific sort of motor/drive/thing?

Also another question i have that i should ask GEBE, but i thought while im on here someone probably owns one and can tell me - can you push start them by peadling and just flick a switch? or do u have to use the pullstart?

Thanks for your help in my questions, im sure theres many more to come....

Re: Brand new newbie!

Hey Michael welcome to the forum, did you get your motor? Hopefully someone else who actually has used or owns a GEBE will help answer your questions.

Motors with a built in 76 mm centrifugal clutch will work.

The centrifugal clutch makes it not possible to pedal start so
pull starting is the way to go.
