Knowra Motorcycle Motorcycle A two-wheeled motor vehicle powered by an engine or electric motor and ridden astride a seat. Its steering and balance depend on a rider or control system.
Internal combustion engine : An engine that produces power by burning fuel inside its cylinders or combustion chambers. It converts fuel into mechanical power in most traditional motorcycles.
Motorcycle frame : The structural chassis that supports a motorcycle's engine, suspension, and rider. It holds the major components in alignment and carries their loads.
Sport bike : A motorcycle designed for responsive handling and high-performance road riding. Its riding position and components favor speed and cornering.
Moped : A low-powered two-wheeled motor vehicle, typically limited in speed and engine capacity by regulation. A moped is generally slower and less powerful than a motorcycle, though legal definitions vary.
Electric motor : A machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical motion. Electric motorcycles use it to drive the wheel without combustion.
Motorcycle tire : A pneumatic tire designed to support a motorcycle and provide grip, steering, and braking contact. Its small contact patch is the motorcycle's only connection to the road.
Cruiser motorcycle : A motorcycle style characterized by a low seat, relaxed riding position, and often a long wheelbase. It prioritizes relaxed road travel over aggressive cornering posture.
Scooter (motorcycle) : A small motorcycle with a step-through frame, floorboard, and typically smaller wheels. Its step-through layout differs from the usual astride motorcycle frame.
Motorcycle transmission : A system that transfers engine power to a motorcycle's driven wheel at usable speeds. Its gears adapt engine output to acceleration, hills, and cruising.
Motorcycle brake : A device that slows a motorcycle by converting motion into heat through friction or electrical resistance. Front and rear braking forces affect stability and stopping distance.
