Do Scooters Have a Clutch?
1 Answers
Scooter motorcycles have a clutch. Additional information: Working principle: When the pedal is pressed, the mechanism applies pressure to the spring, causing the outer edge of the spring to lift and the friction plate to disengage from the pressure plate. At this point, the friction plate and the flywheel are no longer connected, so even if the engine continues to operate, the power will not be transmitted to the gearbox and wheels. This allows the rider to shift gears or stop without causing the engine to stall. When the crankshaft speed is low, the two friction plates do not contact the outer shell, preventing power transmission. When the crankshaft speed is high, centrifugal force causes the friction plates to move outward and engage with the outer shell, enabling power transmission.
