ANOTHER MICRO…

OR “15 HORSES”, WHICH WEIGH 12 POUNDS. In the range of domestic internal combustion engines which can be guided to create all-terrain vehicles Amateur designers, there are still no models working volume of 125 cm3, with sufficient specific capacity and acceptable specific weight (about 0.8—0.9 kg per horsepower). Attempts to adapt motorcycle engines — the M1A and the like — associated with a time consuming job to remove the gearbox and rework the ignition system to more easy and reliable. But if you have a good engine class 125 cm3 would increase immeasurably the possibility of creating light planes, ekranolyot and gliders.
a deep fascination with the technique came to me in youthful years, when he began not only to repair the scooter, but to collect them from different old parts. Then, growing up, over to the motorcycles, have altered their own way: faced on your own taste (the word “design” then in my everyday life were not), made easier, more fashionable, more powerful, more comfortable.
Thanks to the “Modeller-designer” I’m still at school became interested in technical creativity. Three-wheeled all-terrain vehicle is one of my latest designs. It used the engine from a motorcycle “IZH-Planeta”, equipped with a fan, differential — motorized С3А, fuel tank (located under passenger seat) — from scooter “Electron”.
