Control panel, suspension, brake mechanism
The electromechanical control panel includes all the necessary instruments, such as a speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, etc. The braking system is presented in the form of a disc mechanism at the front and a drum mechanism at the rear. The brake system reliably copes with all the tasks that face it. The moped reacts in a matter of seconds to the slightest impact of the brake handle.
The suspension provides high-quality shock absorption. At the rear of the scooter there is a pendulum suspension with two spring shock absorbers. The front uses a standard telescopic fork.

Motor characteristics
The Vulcan scooter engine is 150cc four-stroke.
Speed up to 90 km/h. When replacing parts, refer to the markings. Write it down before using it.
Numbers and Latin letters are stamped in two places on the engine:
- on the crankcase under the front variator cover, at the bottom;
- near the gearbox on the engine crankcase.
We find spare parts by markings.
There are 2 markings:
- 139QMB;
- 1P39QMB.
They are identical.
- The number 1 denotes 1 cylinder, P - its horizontal position. If there is no “P”, then horizontal placement is not necessary;
- The numbers “32”, “52” indicate the internal diameter of the cylinder and piston;
- “F” - air flow cooling of the motor (1P39FMB);
- “Q”—forced cooling. A blower casing is installed, if there is no letter - water cooling (139FMB, 152QM), (172MM);
- “M” - motor type (139QMA) motorcycle;
- The third letter volume is “A” 50, “B” 70, “J” 150-155.
The Vulcan 150 model has a “J”.
The key to a long service life of a scooter is high-quality running-in
Exploitation
There are 2 periods: run-in and normal.
It is necessary to break in a scooter after purchasing a new one or after repairs have been carried out. The parts and gaskets are grinding in and the motor is in thermal mode. High-quality running-in is the key to long service.
- A smooth, level road with a dense surface is selected; crushed stone is not suitable;
- the speed limit is set to medium, 60-70 km/h;
- you cannot overload the engine, transport heavy loads, ride with a second person, or climb a hill;
- warm up the engine before driving;
- running-in duration is 1000 km;
- Do not switch modes abruptly.
Operating modes.
Up to 150 km:
- do not allow the engine to operate for long periods of time with the throttle handle turned more than 1/3 of a revolution;
- stop every 10 minutes to cool the engine;
- Change speed frequently.
After purchasing new equipment, it should be run in
after 150-500 km:
- you need to wash the filter and change the oil;
- Turn the throttle handle ½ turn for a short time.
500-1000 km;
- briefly turn the handle ¾ turn;
More than 1000 km:
- turn the handle completely.
For all modes, change the speed periodically.
While warming up, monitor the rotation of the crankshaft. Rapid rotation will cause jamming.
Winter operation.
There are few fans of winter driving. When storing the scooter, drain the gasoline. In cold weather, the fuel changes its structure and the carburetor becomes clogged.
Riding a scooter allows you to avoid traffic jams.
Winter trips:
- add new fuel;
- check the tire pressure, reduce it to 1.5 atmospheres;
- charge the battery;
- replace old spare parts;
- check the oil level;
- filter condition;
- clean the air filter;
- lubricate brakes and cables;
- warm up for 5 minutes.
Summer:
- avoid overheating. Prolonged driving at a temperature of 30 degrees leads to overheating of the cylinder. As a result, the belt often breaks and engine problems arise;
- do not pinch the throttle;
- Do not turn off the engine quickly.
Compliance with all rules will ensure long service life for your scooter.

Weight and dimensions
This brand is close to a motorcycle.
Length 1880. Width 700. Height 1170 cm. Takes up little space. Parks everywhere.
Weighs only 112 kg. Maneuverability is good, traffic jams are not a problem.
Brake device
Disc brakes, fractional type. Installed on both wheels.
The disk is a moving part. Caliper with brake pads - fixed.
Complete with:
- caliper (bracket);
- cylinder;
- pads;
- disks.
The caliper is mounted on the steering knuckle. It moves horizontally. Inside there is a brake cylinder and a piston; it presses the pad-plates to the disc. A fitting is installed on the housing; air entering the system is removed through it (the cause of poor braking).
Scooter wheels are made from perforated steel
Brake pads are metal with friction linings. They are placed on the sides of the disk and secured to the wheel hub.
- When you press the brake pedal, the pressure in the fluid-filled tubes increases;
- the fluid presses on the pistons of the working brake cylinders, the pads are pressed against the disc;
- speed decreases;
- release the pedal - the pressure decreases and the disk is released.
Scooter rims are made of perforated steel. The larger it is, the better the brakes.
Wheels
A safe trip depends on inflating your tires. Before leaving, check with a monometer. The norm for inflated wheels is rear 20, front 1.75 atm. When pumped, it has weak adhesion to the road surface. You can fall when turning.
A poorly inflated one fits tightly to the road. The load on the motor increases. Fuel consumption is higher.
In both cases, rubber wears out quickly.
A safe trip depends on inflating your tires.
Suspension
Consists of a spring and a guide.
The guides include: front telescopic fork and rear - pendulum.
The third part is a unit with a hydraulic shock absorber filled with a special liquid that dampens vibrations. Heat from friction escapes into the atmosphere.
- The front wheel suspension is represented by two pipes. One is fixed, the other is movable. One enters the other like in a telescope. When the wheel hits an uneven surface, the pipes move. The lower movable one enters the upper one and absorbs it using a spring located inside the tube.
- Rear wheel suspension. Consists of an engine and transmission. Works like a pendulum. A wheel is reinforced at the rear of the structure. At the front it is connected to the frame by an axle. Attached to the pendulum using a sealing block.
Pendants provide a unique feeling of comfort and smooth out the inconvenience of a rigid structure.
AVM scooters
Scooters Scooters AVM
Currently, the market for mopeds and scooters has a huge selection of products from both domestic and foreign manufacturers. AVM undoubtedly remains one of the most popular Russian manufacturers of cars, bicycles and motorcycles.
This company is already eighteen years old, and its founding date is 1996. The main activity of this company can be understood from the name.
The main office is located in St. Petersburg. This building occupies a fairly large area and immediately catches the eye. It houses bicycle, motorcycle and car dealerships, as well as service centers. They are approached not only by owners of ABM products, but by future buyers planning a purchase.
Every year AVM expands and already has almost fifty branches located in many regions of Russia.

All models of the ABM company have something unique that attracts the eye and makes you fall in love with this particular scooter. For this we must thank the designers who create the appearance of the future moped. Some scooters look like sports racing bikes, while others attract with their classic retro style.
By the way, current mopeds created by Russian designers are almost not behind their foreign relatives in all characteristics. And this also gives popularity and high demand for equipment from the AvtoVeloMoto company.
In the end, it must be said that AVM scooters have exceptional safety indicators. After all, most of them have disc brakes installed not only on the front but also on the rear wheel. Also, the manufacturer does not forget about the safety of the scooter itself and installs a standard security alarm. So the owner does not have to worry about his two-wheeled friend.
