So today a new bicycle motor kit arrives and on the side it says "88 cm3" and "YD88". Now isn't cm3 cubic centimeters cubed? 88cc?

Anyone care to comment.

I'll hold mine for a few posts, then I'll tell another little nugget.

This is one of the Livefast "55cc" economy engines. Full review (s) to follow.

I just googled 88cm3...it's just a weird way of measuring volume...comes out to 55cc....Isn't there a math teacher here?? We could use a math lesson.

Ahhh..Mr. Larkins is the math teacher

Now let me complicate things....the bore is the same as a dax 70cc. The stroke is 1/8" longer.

Let's review...the bores on the 55 and 70 were the same, the 65 was roughly 1/16" smaller.
The stroke on the 65 and the 70 were the same.
The stroke on the 55 was 1/8" deeper.

With my head swimming, I bolted them all back together and turned off the lights.

So if this 55cc is truly a 55cc, then the dax 70 I got is really a 50cc and the "65cc" is a what?
