Johan posted the following comment on HELLO PETER: I enquired about a product and was surprised to get a response in a couple of minutes Ecotrax, as one is more often than not lucky to get any response whatsoever from businesses nowadays. Then I ordered from Ecotrax, and was kept up to speed with every single detail of my order. Delivery was arranged and made to the minute by Ecotrax. A small defect was discovered in the equipment and reported via e-mail to Hilton of Ecotrax. Again, within minutes, he responded and promised to send a replacement part within maximum 2 working days. Mere hours later, however, he phoned (although I could not take the call and realised only later it was him when I compared the number to that of a sms I received) and then sent an sms saying that the part had been obtained and will be sent to me. Within 2 hours later I got another e-mail from Ecotrax with the tracking number of the parcel and also a projected time of delivery. Thank You Ecotrax and Hilton for outstanding customer care and service. One does not easily come across this exceptional level of customer service. it makes one feel special and certainly guarantees a succesful future for Ecotrax.

Loving it!!!

Our bike runs like a charm!! Its scary though... we are getting over 60km/h out of it!

Dylan, Midrand

Thought I would send you a pic of my bike. The frame and running gear is at a good point, its got some good tires, different bars, stripped down with a custom front engine mount and custom chain guides. Im going to start modifiying the motor now, balance, port and build a pipe for it.

Calvin, Springs

Simple to install, everything you need is in the kit. Great fun to ride.

"Took me 2 weeks to build this custom chopper bicycle.
A few setbacks with the chain lengths and tensioners but we managed. I will be making my own frames to cut costs, will be busy with a jig soon. Watch this space!!"

The bike rides very well, and the engine starts with no great pedalling effort. It has ample power too, and can go up even the steepest Cradock hills without help. The booklet says that it will have a lot more power after its 500 km run-in period. One just has to remember to pull the clutch in at every stop street, and to pedal away till a few km per hour, then release the clutch again. Eben has made some short movie clips of me careering up and down the road outside his house, much to the amusement of onlookers.

Just took my first successful test drive an hour ago! Goes like a charm! There is still a LOT of work to be done thought, like a custom exhaust etc.

Attached a few photos after completion you can use them on your web if you like.

The bike is going well. My 14 year old grandson visited us at home in Sedgefield recently for the school holidays and put the bike through some rigorous testing every day.

Dave, Sedgefield

Hi Hilton. I like the bike engine, already done some mods. Exhaust is a must, cylinder skimmed by 0.5mm. My son did the carb extension and bike goes very well. Thanks!

I have modified the chain tensioner to a spring tensioner and this has improved the actions tremendously and should help with the chain stretch problem and the loose chain noise and backlash.

As you can see I have fitted a swivel bush in the top of the original slide, this required filing out the top of the slot to fit the bush.

The swivel arm is 5mm plate and the spring I purchased at a local car spares shop.

I manufactured the spring bracket on the rear fork from 3mm plate and drilled it through into the frame to insert a self tapping screw, this stops the bracket from slipping down the frame.

The chain guard needed a little tweeking but fits well.

Dave, Sedgefield

Can you maybe put my bike on the website? You know its nice to show off!

Iain , Boksburg

I recieved the stuff on thursday thanks, and all things are running nicely, 3 out of the four people in my house will now be motoring to campus everyday! :)

Hello,

Just some news of my Indian Replica Ecotrax bike. It's still running brilliantly by the way, and the engine is fully run in.

Firstly, a reporter of the Burger (by far largest Afrikaans newspaper in the Western and Eastern Cape) heard about my Indian replica bike and came to see it and had a short interview with me.

Then about 2 weeks ago a local reporter for the central Karoo Region newspaper Midland News saw me on the bike, and made an appointment to do an article and photos of it. This article appeared in last week's Midland News.

I think the main attraction at this stage on my "silly" bike is the baboon skull at the front, which opens its mouth and its eyes pop out whenever ones blows the hooter! It has horns from an Nguni cow and the neck vertebrae are made up from a Tsessebe (Red Hartebeest) backbone. It took me many evenings to get all the mechanics right so that the eyes and mouth co-ordinate their movement, but it was well worth the effort. I have also fitted some rat traps with fake dead rats, a spare headlamp (ie a candle!) and other silly oddments since I last contacted you.

By the way, I have had some enquiries from people regarding the Ecotrax engine kits after the recent newspaper articles, and I have given them your details. I think the high petrol price has a lot to do with the recent interest in the engine kit.
