Yet Aanother Lightweight Sidecar

This engine is Honda Cub, Chinese copy, full manual 4 gears. Without additional oil-cooler (very popular) it shouldn't work in summer, because radiators on cylinder and head are much smaller than in original. So in winter it runs perfectly when one disconnects or isolates the cooler. We wrapped the cooler with cloth and some foil.
Moped is ideal for my brother - not too fast but allows to learn first sidecar rules. It consumes 1.7-2.3l/100km solo and about 2.8-3l/100km with car.
I think your brother is a very fortunate brother, to have a brother like you!

don-t underestimate the oil coolers, even very small ones have high cooling effect. specially when they come with an internal thermostat valve like mine in the CB650 1983. it was just of the size of 2 cigarete pakages, but strong enough to get rid of any overheating. Even in the Alps, Greece and Turkey never passed 130`C. Normally in summer it did raise fast to 115`C and stay stable between 115 and 120`C
So if I made writing erros its because I am i=here writing in the dark office with sun glasses, because some inteligent maschine operator whipped out a MiniPLCs program and I have to check if the program and the Service laptop still work....
Hurry up Sven, don-t play...
