Motorcycles come in various configurations, with engines ranging from four cylinders to two-strokes or four-strokes. They can be water-cooled or air-cooled, with engine displacements typically up to 1,800 ccs. Mopeds, on the other hand, have smaller engines (around 50 ccs) and can achieve fuel efficiencies of up to 2.4 liters per 100 kilometers.
Steel is a common material used for motorcycle frames, often in the form of tubes and sheets. While some motorcycles have cast wheels, others use aluminum or steel wheels with spokes.
Motorcycle transmissions typically feature four to six gears, although smaller bikes may have just two. Power is often transferred to the rear wheel through a chain, though belts or shafts are occasionally used.
