Autos and motos: all news and articles

A lot of people assume that the term motorized bicycle refers to a scooter, moped, or any small motorcycle. This is quite erroneous though. The term motorized bicycle is now used to refer to a standard bicycle that has had motor attached to aid with the cycling. The bicycles can be used with the motor running or without it.

Some of the engines used in modern variants, are internal combustion engines (burning fuel like petrol), hence the confusion with moped and scooters. Another source for the confusion is that motorized bicycles are not very common in Europe and the United States. However, in a lot of the more populous cities in a lot of Asian countries, these bicycles are quite common.

Types Of Motors Used

A lot of the motorized bicycles you will find on the market to do have internal combustion engines. Some of the more modern variants though, use electric motors, running off rechargeable batteries. The latter have particularly become more popular as battery technology has improved, allowing longer use in between charges. Lithium ion batters are particularly popular on these bicycles.

As well as using different engine types, motorized bicycles also use different technologies to regulate these engines. Some bicycles use a throttle control on the handlebars to regulate the engine driving the wheels. Other bicycles have a crank or torque sensor, which detects pedalling patterns and power, and so use this to control the amount of power the engine is feeding to the wheels.

Choosing The Best Motorized Bicycle For You.

When it comes to choosing your motorized bicycle, one of the factors you need to consider is the range that you plan to travel as well as the general terrain. For instance, San Francisco has many hills while Houston covers a lot of square miles but is rather flat in terrain. Each bike has a different range in which it can travel on one fuel fill-up or one battery charge. You need to decide which one would be most beneficial for your needs.

If you have a regular bike, you just might be able to buy a motorized bicycle conversion kit and transform your once pedalling machine into a semi-self propelled one. These conversion kits vary in price, usually a few hundred dollars depending on the power source

Toyota’s Prius contender

In less than 2 weeks Toyota will use the 2010 North American International Auto Show to debut a new dedicated hybrid that will probably be cheaper and more fuel efficient than the current Prius.

While Toyota has only officially released a few teaser shots of the headlight, for instance, it’s obvious from the pictures that Toyota’s next hybrid will be a small hybrid.

Likewise, over the weekend The Japan Times broke a story about Toyota’s plans to produce hybrid vehicles based of its Vitz class – think Yaris in the US – at a new assembly plant in Miyagi Prefecture in 2011. According to the story the new hybrid will be cheaper and more fuel efficient than the Prius.

Cheaper and more fuel efficient than the Prius? That already sounds like a potential hit for today’s economic-minded consumer. Moreover, the Vitz class offers Toyota a nice hybrid entry point for many other world markets.
