You really don't know what your gonna get.
No matter what kit you buy.
Naa no need to compete in any fasion.
No need to get the thread locked.
In fact if we all worked together......." JUST IMAGINE HOW FAR AHEAD OF THE GAME WE'D BE ".
We all are here for the same reason.
We build and ride Motor Bikes.
We all enjoy the hobby.
Everyone has an opinion and i think just soo long as it is expressed Civilly there is no need for argument.
Arguing is non productive
Working together to achieve the same goal.
Very Very Productive.
after this thread gets locked can we make another beach cruiser vs. mountain bike thread?
im in the market to buy an engine and have been looking around quite a bit...seems like everyone is selling them and its a bit confusing...i want a quality kit as this is my first build and want minimal problems(that i dont create )im looking at the skyhawk....i see the ads that this is the "rolls royce" of engines,for you experienced builders...is this true?...any bad exp. with grubee in general?..thanks for any info.
I just got my 48 cc kit. I am confused of the clutch cable. How did you install it? If you take the lever on the engine, and pull it pointing toward the back, It does nothing to the engine to disengage it, it is still freeply loose? If I install the clutch cable as directed, it connects like that, But how does it do the disengae. Mine only stops the sproket from moving if I move it sticking out the side, moving forward. Wehn I move the sproket with my fingers, that makes it stop, if you move it toward the back, nothing at all. Any help would be appreciated.![]()
Macattie,
It sure does seem like everyone favors there own motors. Lets just hope everyone throughly researched their motors before settling on one. I can tell you this from experience, I was extremely disappointed with the out of the box power that the grubee came with. These are one of the motors we tested and we sell on our site so this is not a favored opinion in any way. You asked about grubees so I'll tell you about grubees.
Consider some things before purchasing your kit. First being the style of bike you will be using, second the size of your down tube and top tube on your bike of choice, third the rear hub size. These are some things to consider when planning your build.
Also, what is end result you want to achieve.
Buy your bike around your kit or your kit around your bike. Its best to do it all at once from one vendor if you can. That way you can get set up correctly the first time and if you have a problem it can get taken care of quickly.
The 7 p's come into affect when building a proper MB..
Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Production!
I don't mean that in a smart way either. Its the truth.
Don't buy a grubee if your gonna mount it on a large down tube beach cruiser. Buy a motor that fits your down tube. The less mods you have to do the better..
Don't buy a grubee if you are expecting it to pull power out of the box. It won't.
Theres lots of Internet propaganda surrounding the grubee motors. Grubee spent a good deal on advertising and sabotaging. Beware of what you read and see!! Don't buy a grubee because "they" say its the Rolls Royce of engines..
I hope this helps you on your quest to build a quality MB!!!
Good Luck,
Justin
