The first engine I had was a 48cc chain drive
on my mongoose mtn bike. It looked cool on
my bike but the truth is it was hard to start,
.and one day I was going down a hill at full
speed the drive chain locked up also locking
up my back wheel. I got lucky. and didn't
crash. and because the chain was jammed I
couldn't even ride my bike home. So I dragged
my bike home over a mile. so I knew I needed
a good engine. A friend told me about golden
eagle, so I got the engine kit. It got here
in 3 days.
I have hooks in my cellar that I hang my
bike on when I work on it. My brother came
over Sunday and helped me put the engine
on and it only took 1/2 hr. I have the engine
on a mongoose 21 speed mt bike and I have
to say the golden eagle makes my bike fast.
My other engine; the 48cc chain drive would
take a while for it to get up to speed, and
has a 48 tooth sprocket. But the eagle don't
bog down at all and it has way more top end
speed because of the big drive wheel. I don't
have a bike computer but I have to say that
my bike is way faster with the 25.4 cc eagle
engine. I know the other 48cc engine was
bigger but it also lost a lot of power because
it took more work to turn that heavy chain
and was also harder on the engine. So I have
to say I'm very happy with my golden eagle
engine and I tried it in rain. It worked
great. One thing I like about the eagle is
it is easy to install and it starts on the
first or second pull and I also have more
top end power because of the big drive ring.
There is a path I like to ride on near me.
There is a river to the left and a canal
to the right. It's called the tow path. Anyway
I went there Sunday. I live in Bethlehem.
and the path goes up to another town called
Allentown. Well I got up to Allentown in
no time. I have lights all over my bike and
an extra fuel bottle. Everyone at golden
eagle was great and they answered all my
questions. That t shirt is very cool. I like
the gold sparkles on the eagle. If your looking
for a good engine that's great on gas I would
say to buy an eagle.............................I
am one very happy customer....................
See ya..Brian.........
