What is a 2 Stroke Engine?
A 2-stroke engine is characterized by the fact that it has one power stroke for every revolution, or cycle. 2-stroke engines have a high power-to-weight ratio, which makes them good for lawnmowers and scooters – maximum power with minimum weight. Their downside is that they run on a mixture of gas and oil, which produces heavy exhaust that is not good for the environment.
