its a shame Felt stopped making the cruisers. They are hard to get now..ive put over 1k miles on the engine so far. when i bought the felt in 2006 it was still in the box. before it was made into a motored bike it was a 3 speed which felt only made 100 of. they only made the bike with that paint sceme the first year. after that it looked completely different. also had the iron cross sprocket which i had to replace because of the wide crank. also replaced the stock forks with the double springerThose Felt cruisers still make some of the best motorbikes...

ove put over 1,000 moles on mine so far. as for quiet my exhaust pipes co,es off the head about 1.5" and turns down. it is extremely quiet. but i tell you the best part...is pulling into a gas station, pulling up to a pump. puttomh gas in a driving off.no do i have enough pol to mix..what do i mix it in...will i makes it home to mix mire befire i ru out of gas...just pump and go
as for clutch...it is all automatic. no canle to worry about..is therte too much slack? not enough? nope ive got a centrifigal clutch. it is spring loaded so as i give it gas it spreads out and engages the transmission at a certain rpm. then as the rpms lower the sptings pull ot back together.
it really rather ingenious. as ling as you put it all together right and not half assed you shouldnt have any problems. the only problem i did have was with the rear band brake. i was riding and went to use my brakes and the rear one didnt wotk/ luckily i had a front drum brake.
when i got home and too the brake apart what happened was the brake materoal was riveted to the band. and just like my drum brakes on my car as they wore down the material developed cracks. now this wouldnt have been a big deal except that the cracks went thrigh the hiles that were made to hild the material to the drum.
when that happened the material was no longer being held to the drum so it just crumbled away..even though i still had lits of life on them. on top of that the rivets wore grooves inti the drum attached to my rim the band went around to stop.
so i told myslf i was doing that again.so i looked around and founf the exact brake but this one had the material bonded to the band. i wasnt sure about that. the guy i git it from gave me a 2 year warranty. so i got one. ive used it for over 500 miles so far and havent even had to adhust it. of you decide to go that route DO NOT get one with riveted material.
hope this gives you some good insight...
oh and by the way, the tank on my bike is the actual tank...lol plus my fenders are connected in such a wat that i dint have to worry about those rods that others use to hild the on a bike. i had to make very few changes to my bike. as it came frim the factory ready to nr made motorixed....lmao

It should be noted that 50-80 cc 2-stroke engines can be equipped with centrifugal clutch’s, and 2-strokes can often be silenced with a quality muffler. However, I normally keep my engines on the louder side for safety reasons, “Loud pipes save lives”.

Loud Pipes Save Lives is a very false perception. In a closed compartment vehicle with the windows rolled up and a loud stereo system playing you may still not be heard. From a distance you look like a pedal only bicycle and motor vehicles will pull out in front of you not realizing how fast you're going.
It is better to have a loud volume horn that can be heard inside of a closed compartment vehicle. When approaching a perpendicular vehicle slow down, sound your horn, make sure the vehicle operator sees and acknowledges you before proceeding by them.
Watch these 3 videos good Cycling techniques and operating equipment (daylight visible f/r signal lights, brake light, mirrors, loud horn) is what saves lives. Being a good MB'er starts with being a good cyclist first.

eBay or Amazon. I would opt for the Amazon clutch bcuz it’s cheaper (if you include shipping) and normally eBay just sell’s used items. But be prepared, they normally cost twice as much as a regular go cart cen. clutch.

If that’s what you want to believe. While this may be true, most people that feel “threatened” on a motor bike of any kind
quickly learn the concept of revv bombing. A 66cc engine with a mz65 exhaust (no muffler) at 9,000 rpm is surprisingly loud. But yes, I know that replacing a horn with revv bombing is in fact, a extremely bad idea. Still, even with a horn, a car will just think it’s another car honking for no reason, then getting pissed and making the road more hazardous. Or they will just say “wtf?”, and then quickly moving on with their day, rendering the horn only as useful as a revv bomb. At the end of the day, most will just see a bicycle going really fast; lol.
