SOLD: Gas powered Bike, up to 200 mpg, top speed 27-28 mph. Golden Eagle Bike Engine Kit (Subaru 4-stroke), mounted on Charger bike (whizzer)

SOLD: Charger bike with Golden Eagle Gas Bike Kit.

Beat the high price of gas and commute in style and comfort.

Bike: Charger bike (black comfort model)
Gas: Golden Eagle Bike Kit, Robin/Subaru 35cc four-stroke gasoline engine, centrifugal clutch, and belt drive (up to 200 mpg, top speed 27-28 mph)

Runs great, very sturdy.

Has been ridden less than 25 miles - basically new
18" unisex Cro-Moly frame size (accommodates riders from 5'-3" to 6'-3")
Can be ridden as a regular 7-speed bike with no power assist, just release the clutch on the gas engine (a simple lever with a knob on the side of the gas engine), and turn engine off.
Gas:
Tires are Kenda 26 x 2.10 (40-65 pounds psi) Nylon-Kevlar tires on double wall aluminum Weinmann Zack-16 rims
Fenders with mud flaps
Front reflector, rear flashing LED
Bike weighs 56 pounds without battery box
Battery box weighs 23 pounds
Bike is very sturdy
First 10 miles were ridden human/electric, last 15 miles human/gas (without the battery box on the bike)
Ready to ride pedaling or gas (electric needs adjustment of sensor on rear wheel)
The gas engine is separate from and does not power the electric motor (the electric motor has not been used since installing the Golden Eagle Bike Gas Kit at about 10 miles).
No regenerative braking
More details below

SOLD (the Golden Eagle Bike Engine Kit sells for $629 by itself, the Charger sells for $775). Email to hobnobblog -at- gmail.com

Left side without battery - Golden Eagle kit is mounted on back
Left side with battery on bike	Right side with battery on bike	Right side without battery
Left handlebar: rear brake lever and gas engine accelerator	35cc 4-stroke engine attached to wheel with drive belt (clutch is in the black enclosure on side of engine)	Right handlebar: front brake lever, shifter, and kill switch
Battery pack on ground next to bike	Battery pack with on-board charger

This is a Charger electric bike (color: black) that has the Golden Eagle Bike Engine Kit added. (We're selling this as we got a Piaggio MP3 scooter.)

We're not particularly mechanically inclined anymore and we never got the electric part of the bike working at top speed because we could not keep the wheel sensor properly aligned. We could get it up to about 17 mph on flat streets using electric and human pedaling only (properly aligned it should have done 20 mph). With the gas engine, the bike does get up to almost 30 mph on flat streets.

Have not used the electric since putting on the gas engine. Battery does not need to be on bike to operate as a bike or with the Robin/Subaru gas engine. We left all electrical components on the bike but you can take them off and will not effect rideability.

Bike can be ridden as

Regular 7-speed bike
Gas bike getting up to 200 mpg at 27-28 mph
Electric bike if you adjust sensors and put snap-on battery on bike

For more information:

Charger bike (this is the black comfort model)

Electric bike

This is a sturdy bike.

Bianchi Milano Cafe Racer, 7 speed town bike - SOLD

We're selling a Bianchi Milano cafe racer in celeste green color - SOLD.

This bike is the ultimate cruiser and commuter. It's light, switches gears like a charm and feels good to ride.

26 inch tires, 7 speed Shimano Nexus internal hub. Built in rear flashing light in seat. Fenders, kick stand, rear rack, bell, small seat bag.

The size of the bike is 18.5, which means the seat height and handlebar angle can be adjusted for a comfortable fit for people between approximately 5'8" and 6'3" depending on inseam. The top of the top tube is just a bit over 30" above the ground, and the specs list standover height as 31 inches. (See "How to Fit a Bicycle," by Peter White and "How to Fit Your Custom Bicycle" from Colorado Cyclist). Frame geometry for this 18.5 bike is available on the Bianchi site here (note that standover height is 31 inches, not 31 mm). See this diagram for frame dimensions.

A darn good looking bike, it's also super low maintenance and very cool for around town riding.

Ridden less than 100 miles. Always stored inside.

This has the enclosed Shimano Nexus 7 speed hub, which can be shifted when stopped - no dérailleurs.

This beautiful bike is in mint condition.

Located in Alexandria, VA, in the Del Ray area. Cash only, bring driver's license if you want to test ride.
