OK, so what exactly is a ‘Bicycle Engine Kit’?
It’s simple, the bicycle engine kit and bike we have sourced for you come with everything that you’ll need to do the conversion and transform it into a motorized bikes. However, you’ll still be able to pedal the bike and ride like normal.
The engine is started only when you want to use it by releasing the clutch lever. There’s no rope pulling needed! You can stop or start the engine as you ride. Twist grip hand throttle controls speeds from 25 to 30/mph (depending on the gear ratio).
The engine kit comes with a 44 tooth 9 hole chrome racing sprocket with easy to install 9 bolt universal mounting hardware that clamps over the rear wheel hub and spokes. This creates a totally independent drive sprocket and chain that does not interfere with your current drive chain or peddling.
With the built in clutch you maintain full function of the original bike. Pedal, shift, and ride your bike like normal. The engine kit only adds about 19lbs to your bike. When you want to engage the engine simply release the clutch hand lever and the engine springs to life. To power off simply press the included kill switch.
SIMPLE STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION GUIDE & CUSTOMER SUPPORT
This is one of the most important points to consider when buying an ‘engine kit’. You really have to ask yourself;
- What happens if I’m stuck and need help/guidance?
- Does the seller provide any sort of after-sales support??
- How user-friendly are the ‘installation instructions’ – have they been written by someone who can barely speak English (never mind explaining how to install an engine kit!!)?
- Is the supplier a reputable UK based limited company that I can easily contact without spending £000’s on expensive phonecalls?
- Does the supplier have qualified support technicians that can easily understand my problem, speak fluent English and help resolve any issues/queries?
- How much will it cost me to send my kit back (don’t forget the weight is about 19lb!!) for any warranty/repair works, especially if the supplier is based in China?
These are just some of the many problems we faced when we originally started buying engine kits from abroad, so you can rest assured that we have implemented the most effective processes to ensure you have all the guidance and support you need when installing your engine kit.
The kits we have sourced are simple to install and come with a complete, step-by-step installation guide, specifically adapted and written by us for English speaking customers. It’s full of diagrams, pictures and fitting instructions. We even provide fully detailed email support. However, the instruction manual is so simple to follow that you’ll rarely need to contact us. Either way, you have the peace of mind of knowing that full after-sales support is available.
Be warned, please do not underestimate this support facility as many of our customer’s have had their fingers burnt when they bought cheap, knock-off engines direct from factories in China and had nobody to talk to when they needed some help. Worse still, when they did get stuck and needed some help, they couldn't even communicate effectively via the limited email support with someone on the other end who could barely speak a word of English!! We provide email support from the UK with fluent English speaking support technicians.
Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what some of our highly satisfied customers had to say about our unrivalled support;
“Many thanks to ****@transformercycles.com for his ongoing help and guidance!”
Liam Collier, Cambridge. UK
“………….the kit comes with very clear install instructions and I got full email and telephone support until my engine was working on my bike, and they still keep helping me with the maintenance.”
Michael Carlos. Spain
“I want to thank ******** who provided very outstanding help to me. We used email (he replied even faster than me), he sent me lots of pictures for illustration and (name withheld for privacy) also phoned me to help me directly. Now (name withheld for privacy) still keeps emailing me to teach me how to maintain the engine. Thank you so so much!”
Junkai Liu, Bristol. UK
I Don’t Know Anything About Engines, What Skills Do I Require To Fit My Bike And Engine Self Build Kit?
No problem, my 14 year old brother, who can barely fit a light bulb, fitted a kit onto his mountain bike in a few hours! All you require is the ability to read basic English, have some simple household tools and an afternoon of your time. So, you don’t need to be a mechanical genius or have any such skills. You just need the following;
1. Basic ability to read English and follow the step-by-step instructions guide (included)
2. Basic tools (e.g. spanners and screwdrivers)
3. 3-5 hours to install the kit, while using easy to follow, detailed step-by-step instructions (included).

Use Your ‘Transformed Bike’ For Any Purpose .........
I use my personal bike to go to work and back, visit friends, everyday shopping and sheer leisure. Its absolutely fantastic, especially going up hills, which is a breeze and definitely better than any electric bike I've had in the past. The best thing about it is there are no engine markings indicating the size of the engine and because its between the frame its hardly noticeable either. Being gray in colour it doesn't really attract much attention and with these new synthetic oils there is virtually no smoke trail to be seen.
You Can Travel At Speeds Of 30mph And Distances Over 120 miles For £3!
The power and the speed are there if you need them, but I'm usually happy trailing along at 15 -20 mph. This engine (58cc GEN II A) has a top speed of about 30 MPH (pretty fast on a bicycle). A full tank of unleaded petrol costs around £3.00 and 1 gallon of petrol will give you around 120 miles. How else can you travel 120 miles for the cost of a coffee!!! The sound of the engine when idling is not very loud, more like a put put sound and nothing compared to the screaming sound of a mini motto: They're really irritating.
You really have to try one to believe the satisfaction you get from riding this amazing little invention. They’re so much fun to ride, very light (unlike mopeds and motorbikes) and can easily be lifted and maneuvered with the slightest strength.
Read what some of our highly satisfied customer's have to say.................................
''I use the bike everyday that’s approx. 20 miles and it’s the best cycle I have ever purchased, the three electric bikes are now redundant although handy as backups in an emergency. I am seriously considering asking would you make another but that will not be until later this year.'' Kind Regards R.Higgs - Gloucestershire, UK.
"The Best bicycle engine kit I've had. Trust me, I've tried other cheap imitations from abroad and totally wasted my money. Many thanks for your support during fitting." J.Ali - Birmingham, UK.
FULL 90 DAYS MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY – BUY WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE
We're giving you a full 90 days warranty on these engines (terms and conditions apply). Be careful when other dealers from the far east give 12 month warranties because we’ve bought off them, only to find that the warranty is only on certain accessories and not the whole engines. These dealers/sellers were really misleading buyers into thinking they had 12 months warranties. However, in reality this meant that there is absolutely no warranty on the engine at all! Would you really want to buy off someone who is simply looking for a fast buck without a care of whether the engine works or not after you purchase from them???
24 - 48 HOUR DELIVERY SERVICE WITHIN UK
We now deliver by parcel force 24 hour service. You’ll get your bike and engine kit in 2 days max. So, don’t worry, you won’t have to wait a month for your kit to arrive from the far east, only to have to return it if there are any faults!!
The waiting time is PARCELFORCE 24 HOUR SERVICE for delivery. It can be a very satisfying project for DIY people indeed, but bear in mind you will need a bike without back suspension, 20 " inch frame size or above with a 70 degree angled v frame, least 14 inches from the top of the peddle crank to the top tube of the frame, 36 spoked rear wheels and no rear disc brakes.
ALL MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE PARTS STOCKED IN OUR UK BRANCHES
Transformer Cycles now carry every part required for your engine kits. It often takes weeks to get hold of a single part from international suppliers. That’s why we now stock every part in the UK. This ensures that in the unlikely event that you may need a part for maintenance/service, it will be delivered in a matter of days and not weeks.
Here Are Some Frequently Asked QuestionsQ. Is it legal ?
In most parts of the world a motorized bicycle has the same rights as a bicycle this means no license, no registration and no tax required. Transformer Cycles ships bicycle engine kits all over the world and every country has its own interpretation and laws regarding the use of motorized bicycles on public highways. We recommend you check with your local driving standards agencies and government departments regarding any legality issues specific to your area before riding on public highways.
Q. What is the warranty with your kits ?
All bicycle engine kits sold by Transformer Cycles come with a 90 days factory warranty for the engine only (all other kit parts are covered for 30 days). This means if anything should go wrong with the engine under normal operation as long as you have followed the correct fuel mixture we will repair your engine at no expense to you. Please note warranty covers your purchase, it does not cover shipping cost to send the engine to us and back to you.
It should also be noted here that 2 stroke engines are the simplest engines to repair, for those who know their engines simply send us the damaged part and we will send you replacement parts within the warranty period. Again we will send you the parts at our expense but you agree to pay the postage cost.
After the warranty period Transformer Cycles will back you all the way with technical support and parts should you need anything in the future. Your investment is secure, so you can relax and have peace of mind.
“I want to thank ******** who provided very outstanding help to me. We used email (he replied even faster than me), he sent me lots of pictures for illustration and (name withheld for privacy) also phoned me to help me directly. Now (name withheld for privacy) still keeps emailing me to teach me how to maintain the engine. Thank you so so much!”
Junkai Liu, Bristol. UKQ. How much can i expect to pay for a complete bike with engine fitted ?
Complete motorized bikes (new bike, new engine, cycle computer and stand) can be anything from £500 and upwards.
Q. What is the break in period and what is it for ?
A new engine requires break in time, this means for the first two full tanks of fuel you should not ride for more than half an hour at a time and not higher than 15 miles per hour. This is so the piston rings can be properly seated and other engine components worn in gently. Following a correct break-in procedure is essential for the long running life of your engine. After the engine has broken in power will increase and engine will operate more smoothly.
Q. What is it like on juice (petrol consumption) ?
You can expect to get 120 miles per gallon from a Starfire Generation II engine.
Q. How reliable are the kits?
The kits we sell are the new Starfire Generation II engine kits. These engines have been exhaustively developed, tested and refined over a period of two whole years for improvement and efficiency. No body in America has this kit it was introduced after the 2006 USA import ban and Transformer Cycles are the official distributors for this kit in the United Kingdom.
When you buy from us you are buying the best, any other kit you see out there is going to be a Generation 1 engine or a copycat engine of the original and best Grubee generation one engines. We have many customers who bought copycat engines and after catastrophic failures decided to go for the real article, they have not been disappointed.
With proper maintenance and care you can expect your engine to outlast your bike, this means thousands of miles of engine life.
Q. How do i go about registering a complete motorized bicycle ?
As stated above in most parts of the world this is not required as they are not classed as mopeds. Many countries have loopholes in the law allowing the use of electric and motorized bicycles as normal bicycles. But if the DSA or DVLA in your area states you need to do this then you can use the serial number for the engine (only grubee engines come with serial numbers, copycat engines don't ) or you may use the serial number below the bottom bracket of the bike along with your sales receipt to register it, the procedure may be slightly different depending on where you live.
Q. How clean are they ?
You should bear in mind that we are dealing with two strokes, so yes there will be some odors. But once the engine has broken in properly there is hardly any visible smoke and with these new synthetic oils they run very clean. Considering the mileage they can do on a gallon of fuel the amount of pollution is very little.
Q. I have a big fat ass, will it push me up a hill ?
As a general rule .....
48cc will pull 120kg
58cc will pull 140kg
70cc will pull 170kgQ. Can i get a discount if i want more than one kit, what are your requirements for becoming a distributor?
Discounts are available for 5+ kits only. To become a distributor you will have to request an application form from us and if approved we can discuss the possibilities further. Dealers must be able to service and repair our products for warranty work, please don't ask for dealership information if you cannot demonstrate this ability.
Q. What about parts, what if i need parts ?
Transformer Cycles now carry every part required for our bicycle engine kits.
BE WARNED & DON'T GET RIPPED OFF.....................
Even though other kits may look similar and be tooled up the same..they are merely cheap knock-offs!! Take no chances whatsoever... You'll love these kits. We've scoured the worldwide market to bring you the best engine kit available. That's why we can give you a cast-iron, full 90 days warranty on these kits. Nobody else comes even close to our warranty period (I wonder why!).
Oh yes, there are some ebayers offering 12 months warranty, but guess what, there is no manufacturer in the world providing 12 months warranty!. The seller is really misleading you! Read the small print – the sellers are only giving you 12 months warranty on the accessories; the warranty does not include the engine!!! We buy direct from the top manufacturing engineers in the industry to make sure these engines are the best available. Our suppliers have been in the business for many years. No apologies, we're here to stay.... not a here now gone tomorrow company....We Service what we sell....and we sell service!!! These motor kits will only add around 19lbs or so to your bike. You will have the most fun ever on your new Transformed Cycle.
Important Information:
It has come to our attention that someone is going around misleading people into thinking that Generation 1 kits come with steel piston sleeves and Angle fire heads.
The only engine that has a steel piston sleeve is the Starfire Generation II Engine, all others are chrome lined piston sleeves.
An angle fire head is a feature specific to the Starfire Generation II engine only. No other kit has this, this means that the spark plug goes into the head at an angle. On first Generation kits the the sparkplug enters the head vertically this is not an Angle fire head.
Wherever you buy your kit from make sure it is covered by warranty, and make sure you can get parts for your investment in the future and having a reliable source will make all the difference. Remember with bicycle engine kits you get what you pay for, a cheap kit will be fun for a while at the most.
For U. K customers a very important NOTE: if you decide to buy your kit from abroad remember there is no warranty for kits purchased from outside a sellers country. If you have a problem it will be very difficult to sort out. Also bear in mind that you will have to pay customs charges for packages coming into the U. K, this is something many people forget.
Don’t forget, these engine kits are the latest craze and they’re selling so fast that we're having difficulty keeping up with buyer demand.
Order today, as tomorrow may be too late!
Have fun and enjoy the ride ..............

P.S. Don't forget, you also get the custom throttle with kill switch totally FREE if you order immediately (RRP £22) and we'll even throw in the upgraded Cylinder with Steel piston sleeve (this provides long life service in comparison to the standard chrome piston sleeves; well even throw in the upgraded heavy duty clutch lever - RRP £17)
P.P.S. You're fully covered by our '90 day cast-iron warranty' and money back refund guarantee, so buy with full confidence
P.P.P.S. You'll be surprised how simple it is to fit these kits onto your bike. My 14 year old brother fitted one recently by following the simple instruction manual. Either way, you'll have full email support from our experienced installers.
