Roehr choose AC induction motor for efficiency and reliability of electric motors is better than direct current (DC). Includes ability to "regenerative energy" when the motorcycle brakes.

Activator is used together with the Hyosung Motors of Roehr. In this case the electric motor for motorcycle can run and being used by TR650R Hyosung machines. But for the other components, including transmission of the acceleration, it is developed and produced by Roehr. To move the power wheel, single speed gear Roehr, ie 20:60.

it's so creative! Combat Aircraft Sticking in Old motorbike

BUDAPEST- it is necassary to claim firstly of this motor that it is not a remnant from World War II (WW II). If it's shape is inspired from that time, everything has been reflected clearly in there. The aircraft can fly to his right? Of course not. That is the next train which will probably be a favorite for children.

Henrik Toth, owner of the motorcycle reportedly liked to smell things that Americans, particularly the old motorcycle. Hence, one of three motorcycles he built the motor is approaching the design of the legendary American Indian origin and has stopped production since long. On the other hand, look like a Harley Davidson motorcycle also WLA (1942). But frankly, this is a modern motorcycle made in Japan, Yamaha Warrior.

Seeking original form on the Yamaha Warrior motorcycle Henrik indeed difficult, but if you look at the engine. Even the tank is made a la "roundtank" handle bar complete with a "breadth". Sepatbor follow the green motor priming military. Stroke-like animal guratannya anteater, and the impression it is increasingly felt when we look back sepatbor made too large. I do not know what he meant.

Meanwhile, some parts are custom made, like the package front wheel shock absorbers, headlights, to place a shovel and a box store the baggage that really "box" and stiff reads "ARMY".Placement of gas tank next to the train wheel side is also interesting to note.

Switch to a fighter, here's an interesting something. This trailer is a replica of the aircraft Grumman F4F Wildcat (1940) version of bonsai. The fun, the passenger can sit there quietly, though narrow, and no rain because details are still attached to the aircraft door and a slide-sliding for access in and out. The propeller in front of it was connected to the motor so that the chain will go to move when the motor runs.

This motorbike also owns two military logo, a U.S. air force in the stern, another German in the form of small plane near the cockpit. So, this bike engined Japanese, American-boned with a little touch of German and Hungarian origin ridden a biker.

Most my friends take motorcycles for daily activities and they should know about How to maintainance braking devices disk of motorcycles

Almost all newer motorcycles are now equipped with braking devices disc disk or disk brakes. At least, when the manufacturer launched a variant must be offered the type using the braking device.

There are a number of advantages of the braking device of this. In addition to having the power release heat better than drum brakes, because it is open, these devices are also more grip.

"However, sometimes there are some problems that quite disturbing performance. Some of the symptoms of brake problems are not standard or vice versa, "

Therefore, the owners of motorcycles that use disc brakes to be advisable to perform routine maintenance devices braking system. So what steps should be done? How do I? Here are suggestions.

1. Changing brake fluid

This liquid is very important for the performance of disc brakes. Because this brake performance relies heavily on the piston in the master brake. Master in charge of moving the brake disc calipers to grip the disc, when a motorist pulls the brake lever.

"The least powerful in performing their duties depending piston hydraulic pumps work flow of brake fluid,"

When the channel was blocked by oil because dirty oil or oil has been diluted due to contamination by bacteria or other substances are fused with oil, then the performance of the piston was also disrupted. Because that's highly recommended to replace the brake fluid.

"At least once a year to be replaced. Exceeding two years, no more than that if you want to get maximum results, "

2. Clean caliper

Disc brakes are open. In fact, on the streets every time the motor accelerated faster then the wind was blowing, so that dust and dirt go flying around and stuck to the canvas and the brake piston.

When that happens, then the performance of the two components would not be optimal. Therefore, it is advisable to clean them of dirt diligent.

The trick, remove the brake calipers off of shock absorber and brake cables carefully. Then off the brake pads and clean the surface with a wire brush or emery paper.

When it is finished, use the air compressor or spray with high pressure water to clean the remnants of dirt, especially in the parts that are not affordable. Then drain, so no water is left.

Once completely dry again raft components. But one thing to remember piston seal should also be replaced, it was to avoid any leakage of oil. "Because if the leak causes the performance of the piston is not weak and braking grip,"

3. Make sure the caliper is still normal

Caliper or ordinary people call it pig's head - because it looks like mammals - are rarely damaged. However, there is the possibility of improper installation or a shaky position because of certain factors.

If the condition of unsteady or vibrating, then the device which it serves to grip pringan disc when a motorist pulled the brake lever, will quickly wear out. The reason, certain parts of the calipers will rub against the disc discs continuously.

So while the motor is running like digeber halting. "Caliper will quickly wear out, begiru well as the disc, its surface is not flat anymore because there are certain parts that constantly rub against the brake calipers, although not done,"

Because of that, check the caliper position on a regular basis is a wise move. The trick, turn the front tires motorcycle. Then look at the pistons move, if the move still in tune with disc disc, meaning no touch or friction, then the caliper is still normal.

That tips on how to care disc brakes are easy and cheap. Hopefully useful.

Vettel really Warn Team to Develop RB7

Because of second finish in China F1, Sebastian Vettel directly reminds his team Red Bull Racing (RBR). Besides RB7 need to be improved again, it is failed to win the third round to be a lesson for the team that twice Pitstop is the wrong tactic.

"We've fought too hard with twice the Pitstop," said by Vettel. When using hard compound tires, "I saw Lewis come quickly and close. I try not to lose time and fight to finish with the best position," he pointed out.

It said holders of the standings (47 digits), he and his team made ​some mistakes and also had some problems. "And today we learned a lot and I am the only one who twice Pitstop,"said Vettel.

Problems they experienced, of whom less good a radio so he could not hear clearly from pit information. Many of my questions was unanswered, including the proposed change of Pitstop for three times with soft tires. "So it was also with KERS, to convey the complaint did not get a response," explained by the 2010 world champion.

With it's a small event in China, Vettel remind his team for RB7 need to be developed again. He was worried about performance of the car when the race entered Europe. Because, a team like Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes certainly want to reap a big achievement.

RB7 Vettel has not been perfect in the eyes right. So is the car teammate, Mark Webber. Team inconsistencies in the use of KERS in car racer Webber made ​​an appearance in Australia was not optimal. When they decided not to wear in Malaysia and China, we can observe the results. He was the start of the 18th sequence.
