Cyclecars were small, generally inexpensive cars manufactured mainly between 1910 and the late 1920s. General descriptionCyclecars were propelled by single cylinder, V-twin or more rarely four cylinder engines, often air cooled. Sometimes these had been originally used in motorcycles and other components from this source such as gearboxes were also employed. Cyclecars were half way between motorcycles and cars and were fitted with lightweight bodies, sometimes in a tandem two-seater configuration and could be primitive with minimal comfort and weather protection. They used various layouts and means of transmitting the engine power to the wheels, such as belt drive or chain drive often to one rear wheel only to avoid having to provide a differential. The rise of cyclecars was a direct result of reduced taxation both for registration and annual licences of lightweight small engined cars. In France, for example, a car was classed for reduced rates if it weighed less than 350 kg (772 lb). On 14 December 1912, at a meeting of the Federation Internationale des Clubs Moto Cycliste, it was formally decided that there should be an international classification of cyclecars to be accepted by the United Kingdom, Canada, United States, France, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Austria and Germany. It was also decided to establish two classes of cyclecars, as follows;
All cyclecars were to have clutches and change-speed gears. This requirement could be fulfilled by even the simplest devices such as provision for slipping the belt on the pulley to act as a clutch, and varying of the pulley diameter to change the gear ratio. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How will a deep cycle marine battery affect my car's headlights? Q. I put a deep cycle marine battery in my car, and now my headlights don't work. Are the two related? thanx you guys. I'll give you the points later. Asked by Suzie_Place - Sat Aug 8 18:55:21 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. It isn't charged or you broke some wire or blew a fuse. The only think a 'deep cycle marine battery' will do is allow your headlights to burn much longer, with the engine off, before the battery goes dead. It still has 12 volts (or 13.6 volts when fully charged), just more lasting power (it runs down slower, *and takes longer to charge back up* ) Answered by Mikel - Sat Aug 8 19:02:56 2009 Can a car alternator charge a deep cycle marine starting battery? Q. I want to make an alternator wind mill to charge a battery but will a deep cycle marine starting battery charge properly with a standard car alternator? I am using the battery on an electric moped and wanted to charge the battery without having to cost my parents alot on the electric bill. Asked by Corbet P - Sun Aug 31 16:48:52 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. They're not much different than the alternator on the outboard or inboard motor, so yes, it'll work. But the cost of running a regular deep cycle battery charger is really not that expensive, so the alternative is not worth the cost of manufacture or effort.
