whats the difference between the 4 stroke motors and 2 stroke besides the less moving parts on the 2 stroke? more reliable? i know 4 strokes can be a little harder to put on a bike due to it being a larger motor. would need a wider pedal crank
i sure do like the idea of fewer moving parts lolFour stroke BICYCLE engines have a better rep for reliability due to the china two stroke being so poorly made.
In the world of quality engines, the piston port two stroke RULES dependability due to fewer moving parts to fail.
It's a judgement call but until china two strokes improve (it is slowly happening) the four strokes are slightly more dependable.
That being said, I have always preferred two strokes for simplicity and ease of repair.
This is the bicycle. It's an expensive build, but I love it. Worth it? No. Would I do it again? Yes lol. There's no other bike like ithows that bike frame wit the tank combined with the frame? worth the money if you want to build a bike??
You're mixing up a few things here. But ... lets see if I can't make it make sense.whats the difference between the 4 stroke motors and 2 stroke besides the less moving parts on the 2 stroke? more reliable? i know 4 strokes can be a little harder to put on a bike due to it being a larger motor. would need a wider pedal crank
The same reasons that make 2 strokes more desirable for chainsaws and weed eaters, also apply for motor bicycles.chainsaws,they work okay there,that's because power isn't as important as a sharp bladed tooth cranking fast...weedeaters too---same cheesy way out
2 strokes don't need to be dirty. Run at high power levels, 2 strokes can be very, very clean. Injected 2 strokes can be astoundingly clean. (like pass euro 3 with flying colors clean..)Only good thing about 2 strokes is its optional to buy one. Why those polluting pigs are still sold is beyond logic. If they were any good they be in cars,trucks and current bikes..instead they push em off on people looking for a deal----chainsaws,they work okay there,that's because power isn't as important as a sharp bladed tooth cranking fast...weedeaters too---same cheesy way out
The pollution issue is the ONLY reason two stroke engines are not everywhere.Only good thing about 2 strokes is its optional to buy one. Why those polluting pigs are still sold is beyond logic.

You should call gm and ford with the news!The pollution issue is the ONLY reason two stroke engines are not everywhere.
I think any four stroke that could compete equally with a two stroke would be so expensive and fragile as to be useless.
