Power-assisted bicycles give riders an edge on long commutes, hills and speed. Tanaka bicycle engines come in a variety of sizes to suit different riders and terrains. They offer more torque and power, so you can ride faster without breaking a sweat.
With models between 32 and 40 cubic centimeters, Tanaka has engines sized for different riders and terrains. Opt for more power if your terrain is hilly or you are a larger rider, since you need more torque to maintain speed. People riding on flat surfaces and lightweight riders can use a smaller engine.
Most Tanaka engines feature a two-stroke design for more torque, making for a faster ride with top speeds of 30 miles per hour. Two-stroke engines also accelerate more rapidly than four-stroke models, powering you over hills and past other bike traffic.
Multiposition installation
Lightweight and compact, Tanaka engines can be mounted in a variety of positions depending on your bike, technical knowledge and riding preferences. Most beginners opt for the easy rear rim mount, which requires less technical finesse to install. However, Tanakas can also be center-mounted or installed between the frame or rear mount chain drive for less vibration and improved stability.
