The 6.5 hp engine explained

 

Rarely do people talk about an engine in terms of Horse Power (HP), rather, it is more about Cubic Centimeters (cc) that spontaneously comes to mind. While both are linked to engine power, there is a difference between the two.

Before going into the details of a 6.5 hp engine, it is necessary to understand the definition of what hp and cc are when it comes to an engine. It should be added here that although there is a world of dissimilarity between the two, they can be converted from one to another.



But first, what are hp and cc when it comes to a 6.5 hp engine, or any engine for that matter?

Let’s start with the cc or cubic centimeters. It is the total volume that is displaced by the size of the cylinders of the engine. The greater the volume of space displaced, the more will be the power and the pull of the engine. If you convert the power of a 6.5 hp engine to cc, it works out to approximately 212. 

Coming to the horsepower part of an engine, it typically represents the power of the engine though sometimes kilowatt is also used for the same purpose. HP is a measurement of the performance of the engine and here torque comes into the picture. Torque is a measurement of how heavy a load an engine can pull and horsepower denotes how fast the engine can apply the torque.

A 6.5 hp engine can be tweaked to produce greater power by keeping the volume of the cylinders constant. By changing the fuel/carburetor injection system or the placement of the valves, the hp of an engine can be greatly enhanced.

The Link Between A 212cc and 6.5hp Mini Bike Engine

Image
Is there a link between a 212cc and 6.5 hp engine? To start with, any engine is referred to both in cc and hp to denote its power and capacity. However, the common trend is to refer to an engine in cc only, even when its power is being indicated. This is because manufacturers invariably refer to an engine in cc only and this is followed by the dealers of spare parts and owners down the line. But as will be seen in this post, it is not right to use the terms cc and hp interchangeably. Let’s take the example of a 6.5 hp engine that roughly is the equivalent of 212cc. But there is a world of difference between the two. HP is a measure of the power of the engine and cc or cubic centimeters is a measure of the volume displaced by the cylinders of the engine. The reason why both are referred to in the same breath is that the more or lower the horsepower of the engine, the more or lower will be the displacement volume of the cylinders. Hence, a displacement of 212cc of the cylinders roug
