Since ancient times it was believed that one who follows the advice of an old Russian proverb: prepare sleighs in summer, and in winter the cart” without any doubt, can be considered a good, zealous master. Carried away almost ten years Cycling, I have always been fixing his “iron horse” and a complete set his spare parts in the winter. However, the last couple of years to do it neither winter nor summer has become almost impossible, because to buy in stores details possible only through happy accident.

It is well known that the wind fairing is not a tribute to the motorcycle fashion, and not only protect the rider from the cold and dirt. A well designed shield can increase the speed with two-wheeled machines due to the reduction of aerodynamic drag. But the appearance of the motorcycle fairing attaches to consistency and completeness: the motor vehicle acquires its own entity, releasing the car in several thousand likes.
Growing every year in our country, the number of motorists. For many of them the car is not only a means of transport, recreation, but also technical creativity. It would seem, than still it is possible to add, improve released in a modern plant the design of a brand new car! But for the curious enthusiast with skillful hands here even boundless field of activity. To them and turned a new section of our magazine “Car “M-K”.
Three weeks it took me to collect parts of old bikes recumbent double the pleasure type. Rapid wedge-shaped profile suggested a name for the new machine — a “Sail”. It turned out onlinefreeroll, easy and strong enough. Low rise creates a purely automotive sense of speed, elongated frame and padded seat well conceal the tremors of the bumps in the road.
In a snowmobile “Blizzard”, which I constructed based on many developments, published in “M-K”, merged circuit elements of classic motoart, “amfitriti”, the snow. pneumona and aerolis, that is, almost all the famous trails of mechanisms. However, my vehicle can not be assigned to any of these groups — it’s the combination motorolaring propeller and skis, which is the driver. So I called my snowmobile motoliam. The ka drive them really very similar to the usual walk on the wads, because the driver drives a snowmobile standing up. Experience of its operation showed that the scheme has a number of advantages: high flexibility and good permeability at quite a satisfactory speed — up to 15-25 km h
The idea is to make motonarty, so that they could ride on soft snow, took possession of me for a long time, fifteen years ago. But to get to work in no hurry, carefully pondered, what I would like to see your snowmobile. So gradually the mind has developed a structural diagram of a propulsion device in the form of two blocks of the ski, light surrounded the track.
The beginning of this century has given mankind many inventions. Stunned by the enormous speed of technological progress, people do not have time to get used to the newfangled term “car” as they were attacked with even more new “airplane.” And cost them to get used to, for example, the word “phone” as we had to learn the concept of “wireless telegraphy”. 1904 was the date of birth of another device, which later received widespread. That’s about it, in 1905, reported in the journal “the Balloonist”, calling it a “sled with air band for movement through the snow”. Was mentioned and the author of the design — engineer of the S. S. Nezhdanovskoe.
For anybody not a secret that such popular transport motonarty little when you need to go s journey through new-fallen loose snow. “How to reduce the specific pressure ka soil, retaining the basic thrust performance?” — with such question has addressed to the editorial office equipment the snowmobile enthusiasts from the city of Zlatoust, Chelyabinsk region, and a number of other readers.
