The Ancestor of the Electric Bike - a Conservative Restoration Part 1

What a beautiful engine with an ingenious 3-speed gearbox! It is very special that people made such beautiful things at that time. Very good film of the restoration!

[@davidhilton5654]

My 1970's Garelli Tiger-Cross 50cc moped , 4 speed gearbox, was very similar in operation. It used the same sort of plunger to push out the balls to engage each gear, although the balls were extended with short rods.

Corporate greed and tight emissions requirements

[@ironhead2008]

Emissions is one of the biggest reasons. This thing is a 2 stroke which means three things: an absurd power to weight ratio, mechanical simplicity, and pretty lousy emissions. You just can't make an EFI four stroke (mandatory for modern emissions controls) that matches it for simplicity and lightness.

[@copyright2024]

They do...

[@alptunatuncer3017]

@@ironhead2008this. This is the reason why you dont really see two strokes on the road anymore (dirt bikes dont go on the road as you know) even though they were all the rage in the 70’s. Even though 2 strokes are a lot more efficient than then used to be in the past, their prime has passed.

Коробка передач с шариковой фиксацией - это, конечно, гениально. Нигде ничего подобного на современной технике не видел. Подозреваю, что из-за ограниченности передаваемого крутящего момента, а также из-за развития традиционного вилочного механизма с бронзовымм синхронизаторами. Однако по меркам 40-х годов, когда даже на машинах обычным делом была КПП на 3 передачи без синхронизации, которая требовала двойной выжим сцепления для плавного переключения без рычания и хруста, вот такой компактный механизм 3-ступенчатой КПП был действительно гениальным решением. Ведь, из-за отсутствия угловатых элементов (таких как шлицы для зацепления шестерни с валом) передачи должны включаться мягко, а для их смены не нужно даже нажимать сцепление. Плюс, управление с помощью всего одного штока, расположенного внутри вторичного вала, делает весь механизм компактным.

[@kotborka]

Откуда там взяться "мягкости" включения)?Если не угадал,будет тот же хруст.единственный плюс таких механизмов-компактность.Слабенькая схема.А чтоб КПП прощала хоть как-то грубое включение тут уже нужен демпфер на сцеплении.А здесь дальше скорее всего была ременная передача,и могла работать,как сцепление.Увидим в продолжении,что там и как.

[@nz3230]

@@kotborka именно хруста в таком механизме в принципе не будет, потому что хруст - это когда шлицы вала и шестерни друг по другу скачут, но не могут зацепиться. А тут нет шлицов, потому что вместо них шары. Если механизм слишком быстро крутится в момент переключения - на переключателе (ножка там или рукоятка - хз) просто будет ощущаться сопротивление до того момента, как скорость вращения достаточно снизится, чтобы шток продвинулся и затолкал шар в пазы.

[@kotborka]

@@nz3230 Ага)),просто другой звук будет,хруст помягче)).Когда ты пытаешься затолкать шарики в выемки в шестернях)).Это ж металл,епта.

[@nz3230]

@@kotborka хруста там не будет в принципе. Потому что хруст - это когда угловатые детали скачут друг по другу. А шары круглые, выемки тоже. Я не пробовал такую трансмиссию, но опыт подсказывает, что при переключении передач на повышенных оборотах будет просто изменение тональности звука, до снижения до приемлемой скорости вращения. Это какая-то секунда, что не сравнить с хрустом вилочного механизма, который при спонтанном переключении без сцепления (да, я пробовал - на той же ВАЗ 2109 переключаться так можно, но при тонком подходе) может звучать несколько секунд и сопровождаться скруглением шлицов, которое вскоре приведет к выбиванию передачи.

[@kotborka]

@@nz3230 Молодой ещё,зеленый))!Шарики хоть и круглые,но пока не зайдут в зацепление,удары неизбежны,и будет это чем-то похоже на отбойный молоток или дрель с ударом,если включать грубо без сцепления.Да,можно и без сцепления тихо переключаться,особенно вверх,на разгоне.Но во-первых,нужна кулачковая коробка,чтоб были хорошие зазоры между кулачков,чтоб передачу можно было втыкать при некоторой разнице в скорости шестерен,нужен демпфер в сцеплении,чтоб сглаживать неизбежные удары,и кпп авто с их шлицевыми муфтами ,сидящими на шлицах почти без зазора практически не подходят для этого.А вот на мотоциклах вполне можно ездить без сцепления,или почти без.На разгоне даже газ обычно не сбрасывается,только чуть выжимается сцепление и передача сама входит).На снижении скорости приходится играть с перегазовками,иначе не включишь.Но можно.Так что хоть округло,хоть угловатое,но это железо)),удары неизбежны.

[@parejaalan1974]

Great close up shots in video! I like how you showed the process of restoring the parts, and I'm surprised that instead of oil , grease was used in the engine.

[@Ego.Reficio]

Thank you! Grease was used because oil seals had not yet been invented. In fact, the fat being more viscous than oil makes it more difficult to get out of the holes. If you see the point where I take the breaker contact plate off, below it is a kind of brass washer and a felt pad, not an oil seal, just because they didn’t exist yet

Very Cool, Weird looking piston I like it, an that Trick with the wet paper towel to get the inner bearing is Brilliant 👽👍🏻✨

[@Ego.Reficio]

Thank you! That shape of the piston is called a deflector, helps the escape of the combusted mixture and was used on the old two-stroke engines, where a lot of oil was used in the mixture because the oil at that time was of poor quality so you had to use more to get a good lubrication. This engine uses a mixture with 8% oil (in a liter of gasoline should be added 80ml of oil!)
