It’s been my experience that 50% of the bicycle motor kits sent to America from China will have significant problems with production quality. The only protection you have is buying through EBay with a Pay Pal payment to give you some leverage against shoddy materials. I have purchased a motor using this process with several dealers with great success. I recently bought a 66-80cc motor from Kings Bikes and it installed and it ran straight up great and is doing so now. I assumed that they only sold a higher quality motors and bought a second one directly from them with my credit card. Bad move, it was a problem from the get go and tech service was only available for two hours in the afternoon if the tech wasn’t in court, unloading a truck or other excuse. When I got him on the phone through such devious devices as representing myself as a purchaser with a technical question, I got technically specific advice such as “you just have to fiddle with the screws on the carburetion” or “snug up all the bolts on the unit” and the best one is “we can send you a new part for cost and shipping”. You will find out what parts are covered when you try and get different parts because of poor manufacturing control screws that vibrate out, manufactured parts for the cylinder heads that will not seal (even with double gaskets and head sealant applied), chains that break, coils that burn up, clutch pads that don’t grab etc. The guarantee is for manufacturers defects that cannot be explained away by installer error, might be covered if properly documented and shipped prepaid to Kings Bikes (or several other dealer I have dealt with). By buying with EBay and PayPal there is a arbitrator for satisfaction, and usually you will get the parts for free or just shipping costs. Worst case scenario you ship the kit back for $25.00 shipping and get the balance of your purchase price back to try again. Bottom line is you don’t have to drop more money into a piss poor product to get a reliable running motor if you use this purchase method. Going to junk this motor and Kings Bikes as a supplier! You have been warned, (But no guarantees’)
