What is the difference between 4-Stroke Gas Scooter Engines and 2-Stroke Gas Powered Scooter Engines?
For an in depth article go to The Differences between 2 and 4 Stroke Engines There are many differences, but here are the main ones: • Four stroke engines carry their lubricating oil in a well in the bottom of the engine (just like your car) and 2 stroke engines require that the oil be mixed directly in with the gas. • Four stroke engines are generally quieter, and their exhaust noise is more of a rumble (think Harley Davidson). 2 strokes can be louder and more of a “tinny” sound (think Kawasaki). • Two stroke engines are generally hotter. • Two stroke engines are usually lighter and smaller in size for the same power output.
