Default Re: looking at Melex, advice please

Some observation about the Melex (I ahve one):

1. US$100 is not much. Grab it. (You can always part the cart for parts. I need a clutch for my Melex, by the way.)

2. It is the easiest cart to "lift". In fact, you simply put 22" tires with very litle modification, if at all. Look at the wheel clearances!

3. What original parts do you really need? Belts? Buy automotive belt or adjust the engine mounting (relative to the secondary clutch) and use a Yamaha, EZGO or Clubcar belt whichever is appropriate.

4. You can replace the engine with a Honda, Briggs, Ezgo 350 cc, you name it. Go big block.

5. Cables? EZGO brake cables will work. F/R cables? EZGO again.

In short, be imaginative.
