For your information, many old Whizzer owners probably knew that Whizzer made a special rear (long) belt in 1940's to solve the slip and loss of manual clutch. When Whizzer stopped the production and parts in 1960's, people couldn't get the special belts for the bikes from original Whizzer. They have found that their manual clutches are very difficult to control by a regular belt and the rear belt is rubbed when bike is stopped. We didn't know how to make this special belt, so we made the centrifugal clutches and CVT for NE5 and Ambassador. But, the centrifugal clutch and CVT also made the transmission efficiency loss and slip and the manual clutch of 99'WC1 has the same problem like original old Whizzer's. So, we started to develop the new clutch (patent pending) 2 years ago, when we were making the scooter CVT system for Whizzer NER and Ambassador.
This new clutch is very easy to install on reproduction Whizzer bikes and also on old Whizzer bikes (1940's - 1960's) by bolt-on bracket. There are many old Whizzer owners would like to have one for their old bikes like the one we put it on our old bike. This clutch can make the Whizzer owner happy and get the Fun back. The old Whizzer owner in Taiwan is very happy with our new clutch.
We made the prototype of this clutch kit one year ago. We tested it on 99'WC1 and NE5 motorbikes in the first half year and then tested on the old Whizzer for another half year. This new manual clutch will offer a new life for all old Whizzers, 99'WC1 and NE5 motorbikes. This new clutch is incl. clutch, bolt-on clutch holder, clutch cable and belt tensioners for the short and long belts, which is very easy to install on the bikes. We also offer the optional parts like the brake cable which can control the front and rear brakes at the same time on the R/H lever and a L/H lever lock when people want to ride their bikes as the regular bicycles.
