1 Answers
The thing kicked on a motorcycle is called a kick starter. Introduction to kick starter: A kick starter, also known as a foot starter, kick start, or recoil start, is a method of starting an internal combustion engine (typically a motorcycle engine) by pushing a ratchet lever with the foot. Function of kick starter: Many mopeds and scooters are equipped with both a kick starter and an electric starter. The former is useful when the latter fails, as the batteries in scooters and mopeds tend to be smaller and deplete much faster than car batteries. Unlike cars, motorcycles cannot go too fast, and the fuel tank will display a warning.
