Understood! Now what about a Gates belt? Which size do I need for the 150cc long case?

So for these things, 2 wheel and 3 wheel, lower is better? If your trike came with 10s did you even use the 12s from this kit then? Or did you just change the variator?

Fixing to order, thanks Alley, what about when I get my 150cc trike in a couple months, would I use this exact kit, 12's and all?

I see different Koso kits on eBay between $20 and $30 but all have different roller weight sizes, which one should I get?

The Dr Pulley kits I see don't include the roller weights or the belt. I know I need a gates or a kevlar-made belt, but what about the roller weights? What do I need exactly? Other than the roller weights and the belt the kit pretty much includes everything else since it's called a "complete" kit I'd assume.

Alleyoop you've helped me again!!! Thank you so much my friend! You helped me in another thread discussing the Ice Bear Q6 50cc trike. I decided to wait and get a 150cc trike as I'm almost 200LBS and that 50cc isn't going to do anything for me, lol!

I have this unit coming in next week (will be getting a new trike soon too) with full assembly and PDI services already done from Mega Motor Madness, and I've been purchasing performance parts like the intake system and exhaust. I'm looking at Dr Pulley complete CVT performance kits too, but I don't know if I have the short case or long case. Some say because my wheel's are 12" that I have the long case, but Mega Motor Madness says I have the short case. Can anyone tell me? Check pics here on their website!

Thanks so much for the info Alley and Jim, much appreciated! I'm actually purchasing it from Mega Motor Madness and I'm paying extra for the full assembly and PDI service (bought a 2 wheel before with same services from Power Ride Outlets). And I will DEFINITELY take your advice on the rear wheels being spun balanced and check the hubs and cotter keys! Could you tell me what spun balanced actually means by chance? I just learned what laser alignment meant a while back as I have a Can-Am Spyder clone from Kandi Motors as well lol!

You know what, it didn't dawn on me until your reply, but you are exactly right, I did know that, I was JUST having this same convo with a buddy of mine at my local bike shop! So, back on subject, is it safe to assume then that the Ice Bear Q6 trike is, indeed a 72cc as opposed to the advertised 50cc based on the fact that it is hulling an extra 100lbs give or take?
I always forget about the DMV rules simply because I already have my motorcycle endorsement from riding bigger bikes so I never needed to think about that! I also always fully insure my vehicle no matter what it is unless the insurance company says I can't! I originally came from scooters though and they are more my style, I like it toned down but in style.

But they are advertised as 50cc's so by that logic wouldn't they sell more if it were advertised as a 72cc? I'm kind of confused now, lol, sorry!

I have a brand new Ice Bear Q6 50cc trike coming in, will it have the secret 72cc engine by chance?
