Bicycle Engines

• Our unique top quality colour design and Alan Key bolts, belies the quality build beneath.
• ZBox motors have a simplified, better balanced crank which reduces vibration allowing our engines to rev faster than other brands.
• The better balanced crank allows The Taipan 80cc engines to use barrels which are ported for performance.
• Less vibration reduces wear on the crank case seals and, with our high quality roller bearings, enables us to tune the motor to higher speeds and produce greater torque.
• We have developed a 200 Watt engine to comply with Australian power legislation for road use. The engine offers the best torque of any 200 Watt engine we have tested (electric or petrol). These engines are designed to travel at around 25KPH but have increased lower pulling power in the mid speed range.  This provides the extra grunt to tackle hills (which is what most riders are looking for).
• ZBox use top quality bearings throughout our engines (not bushes used by many other vendors).
• We pay a premium to remove all asbestos components (other model motors have asbestos in clutch pads, exhaust and other gaskets).
• We have a higher build standard and quality control using an ISO accredited company to assemble our products. In addition to standard factory tests, we add several additional quality checks – All motors are tested in Australia to ensure that every motor runs correctly.  The motors are then allowed to cool and cylinder head bolts are re-torqued.  This prevents leaking head gasket and associated problems that typically occur within a few days with other manufacturers products.
• ZBox 80cc engines have wider and thicker front mounting studs making the motors more secure and easier to mount on a greater range of bicycles.
• ZBox motors use performance carburettors with spray bar and semi-automatic choke. The choke system is not only more convenient, but improves safety as the rider does not have to fumble to reset the choke when riding.  The carburettor almost eliminates flooding and the spray bar makes for easy starting and improved torque.
• We provide performance components that work. – We offer a number of performance options and, unlike other vendors, we test the products to ensure that they deliver – If a product does not work we do not sell them or have our own unique performance products designed.

These points are not the only differences, however, they highlight some of the reasons why ZBox bicycle engines are the best.
