Is it possible? It would seem that it is hard to imagine this sleek high-speed motorcycle as a truck. However, it perfectly copes with the role of the heavies, thanks to the reliable and durable engine with good fins, as well as ample torque throughout the range of rotation of the crankshaft. I must say that this is my “Java-350/634” sidecar “Velorex-562” operated for ten years. Mileage was about 60 000 km With a full load the bike confidently overcame long distances and on motorways and on dirt roads. The roads and highly rugged terrain was not an obstacle for him. Trouble-free service of the motorcycle in these conditions is a sufficient proof that under normal conditions, in addition to three riders, it is capable of transporting significant cargo. But where to place it? The load capacity of the carriages is limited by the magnitude of 105 kg, to install additional trunk it did not make sense. The logical conclusion is to make a cargo trailer.
A QUARTER TON OF CARGO ON BOARD THE “JAVA”
In the practice of the rally often faced with the necessity of soldering or welding. A few years ago I accidentally saw used for this purpose, benzopyrene production of the GDR, then had the idea to do the same, but running on gas. The result exceeded all expectations — and now gas-heated soldering iron is a decent place to set my tools. Exploitation it during body repairs, radiators, bits of copper cables with large cross sections confirmed the efficiency of the design. The main advantages before traditional “hammer” and a blowtorch are: the possibility of continuous soldering, the temperature setpoint, which is important when performing large volume of work, as well as the possibility of regulating the degree of heating.
Less and less will see on our roads a nimble scooter. This is not surprising: the main producers and their fates were abroad — in Latvia and Ukraine. So what else from this series is now sold in specialized stores, is cars. Accordingly, the price… To all that volatile MOTOmed gives the consumer a more convenient, more modern cars of the same class — scooters. Miniature scooters with 50-CC engine with automatic transmission and starter, can reach speed up to 80 km/h, providing comfort, who never dreamed of the owner of “Riga” or “Carpathian”.
Off-road amphibious all-terrain vehicle tires low pressure, built studente and employees of technology and economic faculty of the Vyatka state pedagogical University, in operation for more than ten years. During this time, confirmed the unique capabilities of the machine. The Rover moves steadily along any road, through thick dirty, snowy or swampy terrain of the area covered by tussocks and shrubs, overcomes water obstacles. Its own mass of about 250 kg, can carry up to 500 kg of cargo on water and land.
When winter comes and the snow is “fluffy blanket” covers the ground in many areas, the only vehicle able to overcome it “fluffy blanket”, it becomes tracked all-terrain vehicle or, more commonly, a tractor with a sled-scraper. Of course, you can buy a Japanese ski-goose-nicou Yamaha (though it is worth more than another car) or buy now rare a cheap domestic “Buran”. However, always need such a powerful machine?
