Do bikes like the Honda Dio actually have automatic transmission inspite of being called on geared?
honda dio is not a bike..first of all it is a scooter. we generally say it as automatic transmission in ‘rough language’ but its technically called vario-matic transmission Reciprocating engines all have a certain speed where the most power is produced. One reason transmissions were created was to increase performance by keeping the engine at or near the optimum speed. Variomatic transmissions are just one style of continuously variable transmission (CVT). The variomatic consists of two basic components: A variable diamter belt pulley in the front, connected to the engine crankshaft, and a clutch/resistance-spring package in the rear (also with a variable diameter). As the engine speed increases, the centrifugal force on the front pulley moves a set of rollers which force the belt to an effectively larger diameter. Since the belt length is fixed, the rear pulley diameter must be reduced which effectively changing the ratio of the system. The advantage of the variomatic is that it will
