Polyethylene vs. Metal Mini Bike Gas Tank

Image
  What do you look for when you buy a mini bike gas tank? It should be tough, dependable, and affordable. Steel fulfills all these criteria but they are heavy too consuming much fuel. With the focus now shifting to building environmentally-friendly mini bikes that consume gas more efficiently, other lighter materials have now taken centerstage. This post will go into the merits and demerits of polyethylene vs. metal mini bike gas tank. Polyethylene mini bike gas tank ·         While breakthroughs in steel manufacturing have made the metal more flexible, it still does not come close to polyethylene. It can be customized to any shape. ·         Since plastic is a softer material, it will flatten and bend in the case of a fire or accident instead of rupturing like its steel counterparts. ·         Polyethylene mini bike gas tank  is lighter than steel and can weigh a...

HP And CC – The Differences in Engine Power You Need to Know

Image
  For most people, talking about a 6.5 hp engine is not very convenient, rather they are more at home with a 212cc engine which translates into approximately the same power level. However, technically speaking, both units of measurement are not the same. HP measures the power of the engine while cc or cubic centimeters is the volume of the displacement of the engine. The two are often linked with the perspective that the more the displacement of an engine, the higher will be its power. However, this cannot be a standardized definition as several other factors determine the power of an engine. Take the instance of a 6.5hp engine. Some considerations include the compression ratio of the motor and the placement of the valves. Other traits of the power are how fast the engine runs, the type of fuel used, and the fuel/carburetor injection system. You can also substantially increase the output of a 6.5 hp engine by using a supercharger/turbocharger and optimizing the cooling and the...
