The 165 cc, air-cooled, flat twin two-stroke engine drove the right-hand rear wheel by chain, and a variable-speed friction drive transmission was used, giving two forwards speeds and reverse. A top speed of 30 mph was claimed. [2] A motorcycle using the same engine, also with friction drive, was also offered for £28 10 shillings.

The NuVinci CVT system has a small number of parts. [5] [6] Most CVTs have lower mechanical efficiency than competitive conventional transmissions.Since any CVT may allow a power plant, human or motorized, to operate at (or closer to) its speed of optimal efficiency, output torque or output power, the NuVinci CVT may improve a system's overall efficiency or performance compared to a ...
Ixion engine on a Komet motorised bicycle, ca. 1902. This system is used, for example, to drive the spools in some tape recorders.In a typical configuration, one of the cylinders is the axle of an electric motor, say 1 mm in diameter, while the other is a disk with a hard rubber rim, say 50 mm in diameter, yielding a 1:50 mechanical advantage.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s the engine was adapted for use on ultralight aircraft. The ultralights of that era were lighter and had much lower wing loadings than today, making flight practical on the KT100's 15 hp (11 kW) developed at 10,000 rpm. In aircraft use it was usually equipped with a recoil starter and a belt reduction drive. [1]
The MZ 202 was developed first as a 60 hp (45 kW) lightweight competitor to the liquid-cooled 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582.Later the MZ 201 was developed from the MZ 202 as a de-rated 45 hp (34 kW) version intended for motorgliders and single place ultralights that needed more power than the single-cylinder Zanzottera MZ 34.

The motor and drive train are supplied by the Electric Aircraft Corporation in the US, while the airframe is built under contract by Airsport in the Czech Republic and is adapted from an existing design, the Airsport Song. [1] The drivetrain includes a Fishman-designed 20 hp (15 kW) motor, electronic controller and 3.3 kWh LiPo battery pack. An ...
