Revainrating 1 out of 5

This deserves a negative 5 star rating because I've managed to be the biggest piece of shit I've ever paid my hard earned money for.

I really want to leave a negative review. This deserves a negative 5 star rating because I've managed to be the biggest piece of shit I've ever paid my hard earned money for. Unfortunately, one star is the lowest rating I can give. I read one star reviews before buying, but I read 5 star reviews too. I decided to buy it as I didn't have much money left after buying the motor and I welded it to strengthen it if needed. BIG MISTAKE. So, using an electric winch and pulley, I lower my motor down enough to bolt it on. I bolt everything down and slide it onto the freshly swept smooth concrete floor in my garage. It moved about 1 inch, then BAM, the front wheel detached immediately! The engine I bought two days earlier broke down. More than $100 in damage caused by the failure of a die-cast aluminum bracket holding the generator. It's a 302 that weighs about 450 pounds. Much less than the Β£750 rating. So I lifted the engine back up and welded a 1-1/2" 1/8" thick square tube support to it with two wheels in front instead of one. The metal it's made of is the cheapest I've seen. That says a lot as I weld cheap stuff that people break regularly. I burned through the metal while welding, it's cheap plastic. Conventional mild steel of the same thickness but smaller diameter from Stahlhof was heavier and of significantly better quality. I didn't know a company could produce crap like that and then actually sell it. The Β£750 estimate is the biggest lie of any item I've ever bought on a website. This is also the first 1 star review I have ever done. I will never buy anything from this company again.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • The list goes on.
