Today, trade can offer a large number of the most diverse models of scooters from domestic and foreign manufacturers. A person who wants to buy a vehicle has a huge choice. However, even with such an abundance of options, not everyone finds what he likes. Someone is not satisfied with the dimensions and weight of the machine. He is looking for a more compact device that can be placed, say, in the trunk of a car. Someone considers the design of modern "iron horses" not attractive enough. He wants to show his creativity and assemble his own vehicle. Such people are interested in how to make a homemade moped. Here are some helpful tips.
What you may need
In order to make a homemade moped, first of all, you should decide on the parts that will be involved in the assembly. The basis of the design in most cases is an unnecessary bicycle. Immediately you need to think about where all the details will be placed. The most cumbersome of them is the engine. It is usually located in place of the rear trunkor at the bottom of the frame. If the frame has such a structure that the placement of the engine will create inconvenience when driving a moped, then it can be made separately. This will require welding. The frame should be cooked from bicycle parts that are specially designed for the appropriate load. If necessary, you can change the geometry of the desired part. For this, an emphasis and a car jack are used. The use of water pipes is strictly not allowed, as they do not have sufficient strength. Such a homemade moped will not go far. Motor mounts can be cut from iron sheets at least 5 mm thick and welded to the frame.
Moped engine
Here craftsmen usually go different ways. Some use engines from agricultural machinery. For example, mechanisms from motoblocks or chainsaws. Others assemble a homemade moped using special bike engines. For example, the Chinese motor of the "D" series, or simply "deshka", is popular with technicians. What to use - everyone decides for himself. Perhaps an old gasoline engine from a saw was lying around in the closet, and his hands itch to attach it somewhere. We need to put it in a homemade moped. However, the best advice here is to use a standard bike motor. So more guarantees of its reliability. The engine should be installed on the prepared mounts. If it uses a chain drive, then a standard bicycle sprocket is acceptable for torque transmission.
Brake system
It would be optimal to install a shoe-type brake on the rear wheel. Due to the lightness of the whole structure, a powerful braking system is not required. The first tests of a new moped should be carried out with extreme caution. Having refueled it, you first need to drive a few hundred meters, not much accelerating. In this case, it is necessary to periodically test the brake system by making short presses on the handle. If everything went smoothly, the tests can be considered successful. After that, information on how to make a moped can be shared with friends.
