[Alpenflitzer]

Hello to the two stroke fans. I own a Hercules Saxonette built in 1988. 301/AB 0,7 HP, speed 25 km/h. Im living in the Austrian Alps. Many,many pass roads upt o 20 % steepness. Nevertheless the little machine is never giving up. Advantage is the Sax three gear so it is not too heavy if I have to pedal to support the engine.
The Saxo has been used over 8000 km by a worker in Germany for many years. I have only changed ignition devices, modified the gas tank, new brake pads, LED lighting with generator.
It is a lot of fun to glide through the landscape and the lake shores.

Ah, The old salt mining areas of the Salzberg regions.

Hello to the two strike fans.

In English, that would not be two "strike" but would be two "stroke"...Just thought you would like to know...lol.

That is such an interesting little machine. What type of drive does it use to power the rear wheel? Some form of CVT?

 

[Alpenflitzer]

It is directly driven at the hub. Three automatic gears, so you have no chains to move the wheel. It has 0.7 HP, 30 ccm engine, two stroke, gas mixture 1:100 in winter and in summer 1:80. Max speed 25 km/h. The bike has 3 gears from Sachs in addition.
I use it for fun, for purchasing little things. Driving approx. 2500 km a year.
With this motorized bike some people drove through Africa.

It isn't even built how I was expecting when you said it was a 3 speed. I was expecting some sort of planetary gear system but it is 3 actual narrow little gears instead.

It is a neat little machine and I bet it is a lot of fun to ride around on.
