Moped, mokik, tricycle ZiD 50-02 (cargo), characteristics, review, photo

Moped Zid 50 Pilot is a domestic development of the plant named after V. A. Degtyarev. This lightweight sports road motorcycle (enduro) managed to gain respect not only among many novice motorcyclists, but also among hunting and fishing enthusiasts.

The unpretentious “Mokik” Zid 50 Pilot is designed quite simply. We can say, according to the principle, the simpler it is, the less it breaks. Conventional 50 cc air-cooled engine, front and rear drum brakes, starting system - kickstarter handle.

Despite its simple design, the ZID 50 Pilot moped shows pretty good results on any road surface. Light weight and high ground clearance enable its owner to move over various obstacles and curbs without experiencing any difficulties. Low-maintenance 50cc engine. See is gaining momentum quite quickly, but under one condition: ride it alone. Maximum load 100 kg. makes itself felt.

The ZID plant engineers did not stop at developing this version of the motorcycle. On the basis of the Zid 50 moped, a cargo version called the mokik ZID 50 02 cargo and the Zid Lifan moped . This plant also produced (currently discontinued) another version of the motorcycle - ZID 50 Active , the main difference between this moped and the Pilot is the oval plastic fairings. We will talk about these models in more detail in the following articles.

Not to say anything about tuning the Russian moped Zid 50 Pilot. Almost any part of this motorcycle can be improved, from boosting the engine to replacing the brakes. Therefore, the maximum speed recommended by the manufacturer of 50 kilometers per hour can easily be increased to 80-90 km/h without much damage to the engine. Fortunately, our engineers provided us with such an opportunity. But is it worth doing this when you can buy something more powerful, for example, from the 125 cc or 250 cc motorcycle category? Only you decide! But the fact that at the moment in Russia you do not need to have a license to drive motorcycles and mopeds up to 50cc speaks for itself.

On the Internet you can find many interesting articles on tuning this model, which will allow you not only to add a couple of horsepower to your “iron horse”, but also to achieve a more comfortable and safe ride.

Repair and tuning

Even before the plant named after. Degtyarev was bought by the Chinese, this mokik had enough tuning, which enterprising citizens ordered from China. And everything necessary for repairs can be found in Russia, and it is inexpensive.

Repair

The moped has several weak points. Firstly, the front fork often starts to leak. The problem is eliminated by replacing the oil seals and anthers, but when driving over rough terrain, sooner or later it will appear again. Secondly, the original K39 carburetor is not of high quality, and problems often arise with it. Many owners change it to a Chinese equivalent.

Spare parts

Despite the fact that the ZiD 50 moped was discontinued a long time ago, there are practically no problems with finding spare parts. Almost everything you need is easily found in motorcycle shops and markets. The price tag for the parts will make any motorcyclist cry with envy - they are sold almost by weight.

Tuning

Rural bikers have gotten used to adding various optional improvements to the mokick, such as new handlebars or windshields, but the main thing is that it is possible to change the piston, increasing the volume. On Aliexpress, and even in Russia, you can find 70 cc CPGs that fit perfectly on the original engine. As a result, the moped's agility noticeably increases.

Flaws

• It is very noisy when driving.
• Weak grip, discs wear out quickly.
• No fuel sensor.
• The rear shock absorber seals wear out quickly.
• It drives great on powdery snow, but struggles on wet snow and starts to slip.
• Original parts for repair are difficult to find (owners go on a real hunt for rare wide tires or traverse assembly).
• They produced tricycles. There are few farmers, so they charge a high price even for junked equipment.

Technical characteristics of ZiD Pilot 50

ZiD Pilot is inferior to all modern analogues, but when it first went on sale, it was head and shoulders above the usual “Karpaty” and “Riga”. But its technical characteristics were good for its time, which was the reason for the high popularity of the model.

Engine

A conventional 2-stroke air-cooled engine with 2 valves and one spark plug, capable of accelerating a ZiD Pilot moped to 60 kilometers per hour. The manufacturer declared a maximum speed of 50 km/h, but this was done so that, according to the documents, the bike meets the requirements for mopeds. Engine power is 2.7 horsepower, torque is about 2 Nm.

Transmission

The archaic 3-speed gearbox works very smoothly. Unlike Chinese pit bikes, the gears are changed like on a motorcycle - the first one is down, the rest are up. The third can be safely engaged already at 30 km/h.

Chassis and brakes

It's hard to come up with something simpler. ZiD Pilot 50 has a steel frame, mechanical drum brakes on both wheels and a standard suspension with a telescopic fork at the front and a monoshock absorber at the rear. The suspensions do not have high energy intensity, but since the moped is designed for one person, they are enough.

Electronics

There is practically no electronic filling in the Pilot. It doesn't even have a battery! So the light optics are powered directly from the generator. There is no electric starter either - please be content with the kickstarter. Everything is simple, even primitive, and therefore very reliable.

Weight and dimensions

The dry weight of the moped is only 87 kg, and the loaded weight is about 100 kg. Any motorcyclist, even an inexperienced one, can handle the ZiD 50 Pilot. And thanks to its modest dimensions, the mokik can easily make its way between cars in traffic jams if its owner gets carried into the city. But it is better to avoid traveling on busy roads, since the bike clearly does not have enough power for them.

Controllability

Thanks to its modest weight and compact dimensions, the ZiD 50 01 moped is not just easy to control, but very easy. You just need to get used to the ease with which it tilts and the steering wheel, which is not very convenient for long-armed drivers.

Fuel consumption

A 2t engine, by definition, is not economical, and the mokik from the factory named after. Degtyareva, without hesitation, consumes up to 2.5 liters of gasoline per 100 km. The ZiD Lifan version with a 4t engine has lower fuel consumption, and the Chinese replaced the archaic K 39 carburetor with their own, more modern one.

ZID – 36

It was a tiny motor scooter, which was also foldable. This made it possible to transport it in the trunk of a car and store it on the balcony of a high-rise building. The model was equipped with a powerful engine and reached speeds of up to 35 kilometers per hour. The ZID-36 existed from 1997 to 2007, but turned out to be economically unprofitable and was discontinued.

Welcome to the site dedicated to mathematics and modeling!

Propping a stool with paper marketing textbooks, you can screw in a light bulb on the ceiling, but this, of course, cannot be done with electronic marketing textbooks, but you can download them for free and very quickly. With a simple textbook you can press down a crumpled sheet of paper and it will become smooth. The electronic textbook can be shared with friends. Design textbooks are usually not printed because their authors prefer to distribute online copies. Much historical knowledge has already been lost, but now, with the ubiquitous presence of the Internet, not a single textbook will be lost anymore. If previously schoolchildren earned themselves a curvature of the spine by carrying heavy backpacks filled to capacity with textbooks, now they wander to school lightly, tripping over objects due to poor vision, spoiled by a computer monitor.

Poor students used to fly out of universities in droves simply because they did not have electronic textbooks and could not get a paper textbook due to the long queue. Or because they didn’t have time or forgot to turn in the textbook they borrowed from the library on time. Now each student can have a copy of their own textbook. Electronic textbooks have made a real revolution in the education system. They save many people time and money. Ease of use provides many advantages over paper versions of textbooks.

Millions of people around the world prefer electronic textbooks to regular ones. Speed ​​of access, ease of finding, ease of storage, the possibility of free replication - this is not a complete list of the advantages of online textbooks. And their choice is obvious. Little by little we will eradicate paper textbooks, thereby preserving our nature and increasing our wealth.

Mathematics and Modeling

Advantages and disadvantages

When considering them, we must not forget that we are talking about a simple entry-level bike, produced a decade and a half ago, and designed using the technologies of the last century. For its time, this model was quite good.

Advantages

• Light weight. Everyone can cope with mokik.
• Simple design. Disassemble, repair, and put the ZiD moped back together - no problem, even if this is your first bike.
• Reliable engine. The transmission is also not particularly fragile.
• Nice pendants. They confidently handle roads without asphalt.

Flaws

• No passenger footrests. The bike is designed strictly for one person.
• Weak brakes.
• The volume of the ZiD 50 gas tank is only 6 liters.

Plant named after Degtyarev (ZiD)

ZiD - plant named after Degtyarev. This is a Russian defense plant. Located in the city of Kovrov. We all know the well-known Degtyarev machine gun as a reliable small arms. In addition to weapons, it also produces equipment for ordinary consumers.

This suggests that this plant produces very high quality products. And this year in August the plant celebrated its 105th anniversary. During this time, the Plant was repeatedly awarded orders for exemplary fulfillment of government tasks.

Based on the above, I conclude that the equipment produced by this plant is reliable, indestructible, and I personally confirm this. I've been driving a Mokika for 14 years now without any significant breakdowns. My recognition to the plant, well done, reliable equipment and I will write more about this below.

Moped Mokik ZID 50 01 Pilot

Moped Mokik ZID 50 01 Pilot

Moped

mokik ZiD 50 01
Pilot
Mokik is a moped that is made according to the design of the most ordinary motorcycle - without a bicycle drive and with a gearbox.

There are rumors that they will start assembling the most popular domestic “fifty dollars” with a Chinese 4-stroke engine on the ZiD. The rumors materialized.

The moped is a sports road model (mokika) produced by the plant named after. V. A. Degtyareva.

It is intended for tourist travel, business trips and walking on roads with a variety of surfaces.

The plant equipped the “Pilot” moped with a new 4T engine and released a more advanced version of the moped, called “Active”.

Apart from the new four-stroke, there are not many changes in the design, but they will pleasantly surprise you.

The clutch lever has disappeared - here it is centrifugal, semi-automatic. A round window appeared near the speedometer, the green letter N glows in it, and next to it you can see unlit numbers from one to four.

Instructions:

That's right: if you turn on a particular gear, the corresponding number will light up, they are located in a circle. And this is not at all an accident, since this gearbox also shifts “in a circle”, neutral is after the fourth, then the first, etc. Or vice versa, when you change gears in the reverse order.

Shifting from 1st to 4th occurs when you push down the lever under your left foot.

The Pilot was equipped with a Chinese-made version of a 50 cc engine.

A little more pleasant news: a button has appeared on the right switch box - this indicates the presence of an electric starter.

It is impossible to “force” an engine that has not been run in; it will only really run after ten hours of driving. It doesn’t work – really. At engine speeds above average it becomes sluggish. You need to drive at least five kilometers. Already at the third kilometer the mokik transforms, and goes well by the sixth kilometer. The engine pulls well at low end.

Details:

You can burn out the pads very quickly if you rely only on automatic transmission and don’t rush to switch gears to lower ones in a timely manner. You should “open” the gas only when you turn on the idle speed, when you move off, if you want to save the transmission. Detail: vibrations that tire the driver - not at all.

For beginners, a very convenient “simulator” is the one with the Chinese “Pilot” motor.

It’s not bad that the engine is sluggish until the end of the run-in, the engine will gain strength as it runs in, and the driver will have invaluable experience.

Mokic basically remained as it was. The capabilities of the “fifty kopeck” correspond to the rear brake. And the “tenacious” front brake can actually turn out to be very dangerous, because the tires only slightly “hold” the road.

New opportunities will be opened by installing the “Chinese” on “Pilots” for successful sales of vehicles.

Model history

The 3-wheeled motorcycle ZiD Farmer (aka ZDK-5.904) has a thirty-year history. It was originally designed for use in rural areas, which is why everything in its parts is adapted for off-road driving. The prototypes for Farmer were the Sova motorcycle and the ZDK-175-4ShP four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle, which were produced at the same Kovrov plant.

In the mid-1990s, based on the Farmer motorcycle, two models were created - the two-wheel rear-wheel drive “ZDK-200 2ShP” and the all-wheel drive Tarzan. Unfortunately, in the 2000s, the production of all of the listed models was suspended by the V.A. Plant. Degtyareva. This has nothing to do with the outdated technical characteristics of the motorcycles - due to financial difficulties, the company abandoned the production of all its original products. Instead, the plant focused on custom motorcycles made from foreign parts. For example, since 2004, the ZiD Lifan has been assembled with a Chinese engine, which, by the way, can also be installed on the Farmer.

ZID 50-05 or ZID Lifan 50

Later, the ZID 50-05 model was produced at the Degtyarov Plant. It was a licensed copy of the famous Lifan 50 scooter. The Russian model was similar to its Chinese counterpart. Its main advantages include:

• powerful four-stroke Lifan 1P39FMA engine;
• air cooling of the engine;
• weight not exceeding 82 kilograms;
• strong plastic casing that is not subject to mechanical stress and corrosion;
• large bright headlight;
• presence of a passenger seat;
• the presence of spacious trunks for storing things and equipment located under the driver’s seat and dashboard;
• presence of a glove compartment for documents and small items, locked with a key.

The features of the ZID 50-05, like the Chinese scooter Lifan 50, include:

• a soft saddle that allows you not to get tired from a long journey;
• alloy wheels for wheels;
• easy to read dashboard;
• comfortable seat for the passenger;
• the presence of handles that the passenger can hold on to.

ZID 50-05 and the Lifan 50 scooter were famous for their:

• small size;
• ease of control;
• increased maneuverability;
• high level of security.

The Lifan 50 scooter model and its Russian copy are suitable for beginner motorcyclists. Driving them does not require special knowledge, skills or training.

The Lifan 50 scooter is a high-quality and fashionable model of scooters that has reached a high level of popularity in the world. ZID 50-05 was also in demand because it was of high quality and quite cheap.

Device

The frame with seat and fuel tank were taken from the Farmer's ancestor - ZiD Sova. The ZDK-P two-stroke single-cylinder gasoline engine and rear axle completely replicate the ZDK-200 2ShP power system. Cooling occurs by air using a centrifugal fan.

The front and rear suspensions with spring-hydraulic shock absorbers are original (that is, not found in analogues). They were developed at the Degtyarev Plant specifically for wide tricycle wheels.

The Farmer was produced in two versions depending on the engine. ZiD 200 Farmer is a modification with a 196.90 cm³ diesel engine. ZiD 172 Farmer, as the name suggests, is equipped with a 172 cc engine.

The engine responds instantly to the throttle. You can move away even in second gear. In cold weather, the engine also starts perfectly, but it requires warming up for 2-4 minutes.

The installed tubeless wide wheels YA-417 allow you to force quite deep snow and overcome marshy surfaces. The bad thing is that the rear wheels and shock absorbers sit on a splined surface that is only 2 centimeters long. Because of this, when moving, the wheels quickly become loose and break the connection.

Domestic mopeds

The world of domestic motor vehicles today is known mainly only to Russian users. Our motorcycle manufacturers have not gone as far in creating quality products as our competitors from Japan. It is clear that domestic motorcycle production is noticeably behind its foreign “brothers.” But, nevertheless, among domestic mopeds there are their leaders and we can highlight their production advantages.

For example, the Verkhovyna moped is distinguished by its design and small size of the gas tank, although many are not satisfied with the “window” between the saddle, tank, white side drawers and two diagonal frame pipes. Such a domestic moped as “Stella/Babette” is distinguished by its comfort. If we talk about the "Delta", then it can be described as a moped

with good stability and controllability. Plus, it has always been distinguished by its design, thanks to which many called the Delta a mini-motorcycle. It is also worth noting the release of Riga mopeds, where a good ride and comfortable fit distinguishes the Riga-7. But there are also those who prefer a model as small in size as the Riga-22. It turns out that domestic manufacturers also have something to brag about.

Below are the technical characteristics of some ZID mopeds and other models. The Namopede.ru portal invites you to take a closer look at some of the domestically produced models.

Let's take a domestic moped called “Ptah”. As if justifying its slightly frivolous name, it looks like an ordinary bicycle, rather even like a children’s one. And its driving performance leaves much to be desired. The Arkan mini-scooter looks much better and more profitable: despite the fact that the design and assembly are lame, this device looks like a European model of a middle-class scooter. It has a three-speed gearbox and a two-stroke engine.

A few more words about Russian models: the domestic moped “Pilot” - this machine has received quite a lot of good reviews. Although some users of the domestic moped " Pilot

“complain about the excessive “stuffing” of mechanisms that reduce the speed capabilities of the “Pilot”. It is believed that the Pilot has the best braking system among Russian models. Therefore, we invite you to familiarize yourself with its technical characteristics and appearance. Sales and repairs of domestic mopeds are carried out in many service centers in Russia and Ukraine. The Namopede.ru portal offers you a list of stores where motorcycles are sold.

But do not forget that when purchasing a moped or scooter, you have every right to ask any questions regarding the product you are purchasing. How carefully you approach the choice of means of transportation will determine the long-term life of your moped, and your own

Another point that is worth paying attention to is the legal side of the matter. Previously, in many countries, in order to freely drive on city roads, you did not need to obtain a driver’s license or register your vehicle

Today the situation has changed dramatically: many countries around the world have already passed a law that obliges all owners of vehicles such as mopeds and scooters to have both a driver’s license and state registration. In Russia, Chapter 24 of the Road Traffic Rules states: “by decision of the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, a procedure may be established that requires moped drivers to have a document confirming their knowledge of the Rules, and for these vehicles to have a special registration plate.” Such restrictions are introduced in order to improve the culture of communication on the road, both on the part of drivers and on the part of pedestrians.

So, the motorcycle business in Russia is not yet as developed as in Japan and China. But the legal settlement is in step with the laws of Europe and Asia.

Cost, pre-sale preparation Mokika

The cost of the mokika at that time was 49,000 rubles. Now the price is completely different, about 90,000 rubles (2021) It was like, I went into a store where they sold bicycles and mopeds and there was this three-wheeled miracle. Of course, I really liked it and I ordered this moped for myself, making an advance payment. When the moped was delivered to the store, they called me and said that the moped could be picked up.

I had gasoline prepared in advance, because I planned to go to the village by moquique. And so in the store I paid the entire amount, they provided me with all the pre-sale preparation of the moped, where in the passport there is a mark of the store in this.

There is also my signature that I have no complaints. Everything is documented and signed according to the entire purchase and sale form.

Thus, I became the owner of this wonderful moped under the unusual name Mokik 3-wheeled “ZiD50-02”

And now a little about its main technical characteristics.

Specifications

The technical characteristics of the device include several indicators:

1. Size and comfort.
   The length of the mokika with a body is 2350 cm, width is 1050 cm, height is 780 cm, the body does not create problems while driving. The driver's seat is soft and comfortable, the steering wheel grips are at a comfortable height. One more person can easily fit in the seat behind the driver. A small engine volume allows you to operate the device without special rights
2. Engine and gearbox. Engine power 2.72 horsepower, cylinder volume 50 cm3. With these parameters, on a flat road with an average load, the speed of the mokik reaches 50 km/h. At the same time, the engine is quite economical, consuming only 2.2 liters per 100 km. The cooling system is air, using oncoming air flows when driving. The gearbox is manual, 3-speed. There is a reverse speed.
3. Brakes. Drum-type, capable of abruptly stopping even a loaded trike.
4. Suspension. The suspension has a set of shock absorbers, which makes driving even off-road soft and comfortable.
5. Wheels. Light, inflatable, of the same diameter. This allows you to buy a set of tires and tubes at once, without remembering the difference in size between the front and rear wheels.
6. Additional equipment. Additional equipment includes rear-view mirrors, turn signals and a powerful headlight, and there is also a signal.

Model range overview

The lineup consists of the following models:

Zid 50. The Mokik ZiD 50 carburetor creates a power of 2 horsepower. However, there are modifications that depend specifically on the number of revolutions and, accordingly, power.

The moped model range has several options

1. ZiD 50-01 with carburetor Mokik ZiD 50 01.
2. ZiD 50-02 with Mokik ZiD 50 02 carburetor.
3. ZiD 50-02 with an engine power of 2.7 hp.

Design

The moped looks like a small enduro, which it is. Long-travel suspensions, a raised tail, a raised muffler, a minimum of plastic - when you look at the photo, it immediately becomes clear that it was created for rough terrain. Of course, the Mokik ZiD 50 Pilot cannot be called a full-fledged two-wheeled SUV, but it copes well with country roads and dirt roads.

Price and annual maintenance cost

The trike itself costs from 62,000 rubles. Annual maintenance costs from 1000 to 3000 rubles, for oil and burnt out bulbs in the headlights. If used carefully in the first year, the trike does not require major repairs or costs. Spark plugs, rings, filters and gaskets need to be changed only during repairs or after the first year of operation.

ZID 50 “Pilot”

Was released in 1995. It was equipped with a fairly powerful two-stroke fifty-cc engine. The lightweight moped turned out to be very powerful, and could reach a speed of 50 kilometers per hour while consuming only 2 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers.

The three-speed gearbox was integrally connected to the engine. Four years later, a model with a raised front wing was released. And later the plant pleased us with the powerful ZiD-50-01 motorcycle, equipped with a Lifan engine; this model used a semi-automatic clutch.

Based on the ZID 50 “Pilot” model, the ZDK-2.404 cargo truck was later produced. It was three-wheeled and weighed only 112 kilograms. All technical specifications were the same as the previous model. Fuel consumption was 3 liters per hundred kilometers. The already well-known Lifan engine was installed on it. The model was complemented by a rear differential.

Since 2000, the plant has produced ZID 50-01 “Active”. There were no significant differences from previous models. A fairly powerful Chinese-made Lifan engine was used. The model was distinguished by a beautiful and stylish plastic body kit, similar to the trim of cruisers.

Motorcycle modifications

The very first version was called ZiD 50 01, and it is this that is the classic “Pilot”. modification 50 02 was designed , and the “Active” is exactly the same mokick, but slightly modified in appearance. And later the bike was replaced by a ZiD Lifan, equipped with a Chinese 4-stroke engine and a new transmission.

Conclusion

The ZiD 50 Pilot motorcycle is perfect as a first bike on which you can learn the basics of riding. The simple design will help you learn to understand the design of motorcycle equipment, and the solid ground clearance will make it possible to drive where the owners of many large bikes do not dare to venture.
