Description Cagiva N 1 1997
The description of the Cagiva N 1 1997 motorcycle is in the queue for publication of the article. Announcement: Today, for almost every new motorcycle that comes into being, marketers strive to carve out their own niche. This one is a road sport, this one is a recreational enduro. But what class should we include a motorcycle that has a little bit of everything? A good bike should have a reliable engine, comfortable ergonomics and simple controls.
Cagiva N 1 is a very popular motorcycle in Russia. Despite the fact that good models of motorcycles have a very respectable price, and the season for their use is relatively short, the motorcycle market is developing rapidly. And if you believe the words of dealers, then some models of recently released motorcycles are selling like hot cakes at the beginning of the season, and the models brought to Russia are clearly not enough to fully satisfy consumer demand.
A motorcycle has long ceased to be an alternative to a car, and the times when this equipment was bought only because there was not enough money for a full-fledged car are forgotten. Nowadays, two-wheelers can be called technological marvels in many cases, and their cost can be compared with that of prestigious cars.
Mikilon pit bikes
What do we know about Mikilon ? Not as much as I would like. Many praise them for their reliability and quality, while others, on the contrary, are scared by the name and country of origin. Let's first figure out who produces them and what models are on the market. Zhe Jiang ChaoZhong Industrial Co.,LTD was founded on January 8, 1997, as a subsidiary of Superman Group . We started with the production of small household appliances and the sale of electrical tools. After five years of development, the company gained confidence in the market and accumulated capital for further development.
Start of production of pit bikes and ATVs in 2002
After China joined the WTO in 2001, the company conducted market research and decided to begin developing pit bikes and ATVs in 2002. ChaoZhong Group invested US$5 million and built one of the largest pit bike factories. The existing workshops were also modernized and modern equipment was supplied. At the same time, the company spared no expense in recruiting the best engineers and installing the latest computerized equipment for product design and testing. Research in development, testing and modification are guaranteed to yield fruitful results and the company has been able to satisfy the demands of its customers.
Continued growth in 2008
In 2008, the global economic crisis swept across the world. The company took the opportunity to change its development model and implement structural changes so as to maintain stable and relatively rapid growth. For example, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems were introduced for warehouse facilities, 3D computer-aided design systems for the research and development department and an operational management system. Combined with modern technology, productivity, quality and production management have improved markedly.
Concept and products
Thanks to modern management systems and superior quality, the company has been able to pass the ISO9001 and obtain the mandatory certificate in China for the production of motorcycles and ATVs. In addition, the company received the marking of compliance with the basic requirements of the European Union (CE) . Mikilon products have received recognition from customers around the world due to their modern design, excellent quality and competitive price. The company's core values include responsibility to society (participation in social programs, charity, etc.), innovation and customer satisfaction. These are critical elements of the company's business and enable it to continually develop high-quality products and provide superior customer service. The company strives to develop and provide customers with safe, productive and modern products. Mikilon Motor experienced rapid growth in sales and production volumes. Currently, the company is able to annually produce up to 50,000 units of equipment (motorcycles, pit bikes, ATVs) in the range from 110 to 250 cc. see The main market includes Europe, North and South America, Australia, Asia, Africa , etc. Following the idea of "pursue quality, quality achieves the future", Mikilon sincerely hope to work with partners around the world to create a common glorious future. It was an excursion into the history of the company and its key features. As you can see, there is nothing particularly scary, it’s quite a modern production using current technologies. Plus successful completion of certifications and standards. Let's now look at the company's pit bike lineup.

If there are owners of Mikilon pit bikes among the readers, it would be very interesting to hear their feedback on the quality and reliability of these devices.

Road repair of a generator on a Java 634 motorcycle
During a long trip on a YAVA-350 motorcycle model “634.01” the generator suddenly failed. As a result of disassembly and testing using a light bulb and battery, I discovered that one of the armature windings was broken to ground, which caused the generator to produce insufficient voltage. An external inspection could not find the location of the short circuit, so I proceeded as follows. Having wrapped the armature commutator with copper wire (thus connecting all the armature windings in parallel), I connected a powerful 12 V car battery between the commutator and the armature core. The faulty winding quickly heated up, began to smoke and sparked at the point of closure - where the winding wire bends and enters the groove of the core. Then it’s a matter of technology. Moving the wire away from the sharp edge of the core, I insulated the wire and filled the repair area with nail polish. The generator started working. With this anchor I returned home safely, and I’m still traveling to this day. already more than 5000 kilometers, and have not noticed any interruptions or any kind.
