I am very sorry to have to say this to everyone, but I will no longer be offering any gas bicycle engines for sale or for anything else. After what I've been thru this year with Environment Canada and the related issues with the US EPA, and being brought into the RCMP office over these engines and the list of possible charges (not yet decided upon), I have decided to give up on this hobby.

I was under the impression that all of the required paperwork was together and proper but it apparently is not. The documents as sent from China do not match with each other and even the engine identification labels do not meet government requirements.

The Environment Canada officer has told me that I could actually carry on with the engines if I could obtain engines that meet all the necessary requirements, either thru importing directly or buying from somewhere in Canada or the USA that has already imported them.

I would gladly do this so that everyone out there could have a reliable and strong running engine, however I have not yet (after all these years) been able to find any engine out there that would legally satisfy all of the requirements...nothing from any vendor or factory.

I have seen pretty much everything that is out there and available and there is nothing that is fully 100% up to par.

If anyone knows of an actual factory, or of a vendor here in North America that meets all of the requirements, please let me know and I will look into getting back into things, but for right now, I have no choice but to stay away from it all.

 

I am truly sorry to all of you people that have been waiting since the beginning of the year for all this mess to get straightened out. I appreciate your loyalties and wanting to wait to get an engine from me, and it is with sad regret that I have to say that I can not offer anything. Should the situation change in the future, I will re-work my website...so please check back once in awhile to see if there has been any changes.

I am thinking of utility trailers for bicycles at this time as I always get people asking to buy my trailer from me, and I am also looking into various electric designs for bicycles...we'll have to see what happens down the road.

Right now I'm uncertain on what to do, but I know that I need to be doing something.

I will do what I can to honor any warranty issues, and will always remain available for questions, tips, and suggestions to help anyone out that may be experiencing problems. As always, that term "anyone" also goes to people who do not necessarily have one of my engines, but may be needing help or advice with whatever they have.

It would likely be best to contact me via email (chrishill@knet.ca), instead of the phone as I may change telephone numbers as well (recent break-up in my personal life kind of requires this right now for some peace).

Take care, ride safely, and God bless!
