The technical characteristics of the Alpha moped were a success. This makes all competitors look at him with envy. Or rather, a variety of companies producing mopeds. Let’s take a look at all the characteristics of this wonderwork in detail, starting with the engine.
Alpha moped is equipped with a four-stroke engine, which is cooled by an air stream falling on the surface of the cylinder head . Although it is small in volume - only 72 cm cubic, it develops relatively good power, which pleases all lovers of high-speed driving.
The maximum that an Alpha moped can produce is five horsepower. At the same time, it develops at most seven thousand five hundred revolutions per minute.
One of the positive qualities of such a moped is that it starts from an electric starter. Additionally, it is possible to manually start an Alpha moped using a kick starter. After starting the engine, the movement is carried out using a four-speed manual transmission.
Characteristics of the Alpha moped
Power is transmitted from the engine to the wheel using a chain. The length of the moped is one meter eighty centimeters and the width is half a meter. Itself (without additional load) it weighs 81 kilograms. The front and rear wheels are the same size - seventeen inches, however, the rear wheels are larger than the front. They brake on such a moped by pressing the lever located on the steering wheel. The brakes are structurally drum type.
Such a vehicle is equipped with front hydraulic shock absorbers. A relatively small fuel tank is only 4 liters. This is because the fuel consumption of such a machine is only two liters per hundred kilometers.
You can refuel a moped with ninety-second gasoline, but if someone cares about their equipment, they can fill in with ninety-fifth. The carrying capacity of such a moped reaches one hundred and twenty kilograms, which makes it possible to ride even full people on it.
Design
The moped design was a success. Take a silencer, for example. It has an interesting saxophone shape and perfectly muffles the sound. Shiny coasters are also comfortable and beautiful. Especially
spectacular moped Irbis Alpha which has a lot of chrome elements.
The devices on the panel look spectacular and harmonious. All operating modes and engine status are notified: near and far color, revolutions and speed, neutral gear, etc. There are two rear-view mirrors, which is also important.
As it has become fashionable recently, on each model of a moped there is a place for a wardrobe trunk, which is installed behind the driver's back. It is also used as a comfortable back.
It is worth talking especially about the safety of riding on such an “iron horse”. So, the Irbis Alpha 50 moped is equipped even when manufacturing at the factory with side arches, which are not subject to deformation even during falls. They are made of high-strength alloys of metals of various properties.
Of course, there are many positive aspects. In general, there are no negative characteristics. Therefore, everyone decides for himself. As the saying goes in this case: "Until you see, you won’t understand anything."
