Who Invented the World's First Motorcycle?
1 Answers
The world's first motorcycle was invented by German engineer Gottlieb Daimler in 1885. Daimler's motorcycle was powered by a four-stroke internal combustion engine with a cylinder capacity of 264 cubic centimeters, producing 0.5 horsepower at 700 revolutions per minute and reaching a speed of 12 kilometers per hour. The vehicle had a wooden frame, a belt-driven rear wheel, and auxiliary support wheels on both sides. Motorcycle Ignition System: The motorcycle ignition system consists of an ignition coil, CDI igniter, high-voltage coil, spark plug, and other components. Principle of the Ignition System: The primary electricity generated by the motorcycle's ignition coil enters the igniter, then passes through the igniter's current to the high-voltage coil. The high-intensity current from the high-voltage coil enters the spark plug to ignite and burn the gasoline in the cylinder, creating high explosive pressure to drive the crankshaft for operation.
