✅ Motorcycle LF50QT-2A Metro (2008): technical characteristics, photos, videos

Stable at different speeds and in turns, the ZiD-Lifan scooter was sold out after its release even before the motorcycle media reported on it. The technical characteristics of the model are reminiscent of the “average Japanese” of the early 90s, equipped with the same shock absorbers, drum brake system and wishbone front suspension.

Despite the fact that the layout of the scooter is not the most relevant today and slightly reduces the maximum power (combining the OHV lower shaft with the gas distribution mechanism), it is very convenient for repairs.

The CVT, suitable for quiet, economical driving, coupled with the four-stroke engine creates a confident, smooth start, albeit not too dynamic. Drum brakes, unlike disc brakes, can feel a little lazy. But the capacious battery is efficient and promises to last a long time.

It was not possible to find any obvious flaws in ZiD-Lifan. This scooter is an inexpensive and practical vehicle that is an example of an ergonomic unit for moving around the city. In addition, it is light and easy to control, which allows even a beginner to handle the scooter.

The saxophone exhaust pipe and the shape of the plastic cover emphasize the sporty design of the scooter. The optics of the ZiD-Lifan are represented by a rather large front headlight, thanks to which the light of the scooter is visible even in fog. The shock absorber adequately absorbs bumps and uneven road surfaces, and, combined with a telescopic front suspension fork and a comfortable seat, makes the train comfortable for the driver.

The ZiD-Lifan dashboard helps to monitor the performance of the unit, and under it there are conveniently located controls that do not distract the scooter rider from controlling it.

LIFAN ZID LF50QT-8A: two-seater road scooter

Russian and Chinese manufacturers began to produce motorcycles comparable in parameters to Japanese ones. For example, the LIFAN ZID LF50QT-8A is no worse than Japanese 50cc scooters in terms of technical parameters and design. In the near future, most likely, the reliability of many scooters will be as high as their Japanese counterparts. For example, if you review Chinese scooters of the LF50QT model range, you can give positive feedback about the quality and reliability of the engines that are installed on them.

In the name of the scooter, the abbreviation LIFAN denotes the name of a well-known Chinese company that produces, among other things, engines. LIFAN motors of various sizes have long been purchased and installed on scooters and other equipment produced by the Russian plant named after V.A. Degtyarev .

The LF50QT-8A is equipped with a LIFAN 1P39QMB engine with a consumption of 2.8 liters per 100 km. The engine provides a maximum compression of 10.5 atmospheres, a maximum power of 2.4 kW at 7000 rpm and a torque of 3.5 Nm at 5500 rpm. Such parameters allow you to calmly maneuver in dense city traffic.

You can evaluate the appearance of a scooter as excellent without reviewing scooters with small engines and from different manufacturers. A comfortable seat designed for drivers of different weights, a wide front wheel, and duplicating the turn signal indication with a buzzer signal - these are some of the memorable details of the original appearance of the LF50QT-8A.

For low-power models of the LIFAN brand, the average cost of a scooter in dealership centers is 35-40 thousand rubles. Chinese-made scooters come in three colors: yellow, blue, red.

History of cooperation

Plant named after Degtyarev, located in the city of Kovrov, Vladimir region, is known throughout the world for the production of various types of weapons. However, in recent years, the plant’s management has decided to diversify production. Thus, an agreement was concluded with the Chinese manufacturer of automobile and motorcycle equipment, the Lifan concern, for the licensed production of scooters and mopeds.

The technological experience accumulated at the plant and the qualitative simplicity of Chinese units made it possible to launch the production of a whole line of ZiD-Lifan scooters, which, due to their low cost, are popular among motorcycle enthusiasts not only in Russia, but also abroad.

All scooters are equipped with an unpretentious four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine. There are disc brakes and a telescopic hydraulic suspension that softens the ride on uneven roads. All scooters have a large load capacity and a spacious trunk.

Specifications

The moped is equipped with a 4-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine. The engine displacement is 48 cc, compression ratio is 9.0. It is recommended to use A-92, A-95 gasoline as fuel. Fuel is transferred by a SHENGWEY, PZ12J carburetor. Air filtration occurs through a special air filter made of polyurethane foam. The ignition system consists of: a switch (brand ZHONGGANG, type 210000); ignition coils (ZHONGGANG brand, type 220000) and spark plugs (NHSP LD brand, type A6RTC1).

To minimize exhaust gas emissions, the exhaust and purification system is represented by one LC-3A resonant type muffler. The role of transmission on a moped is performed by a manual 4-speed gearbox located in the same block with the engine. A chain is used as the main gear, and the clutch is multi-plate in an oil bath.

Flaws:

Small fuel tank volume.
Factory lighting equipment may work intermittently.
Rearview mirrors need to be adjusted because visibility is initially poor.

In general, the Lifan lf50q 2 moped is a pretty good option in its price category. Easy to operate, maneuverable, performs well in off-road conditions. It has a reliable engine with good performance. This is a great option for a beginner due to its low cost, excellent handling and metal body.

ZiD scooter

Kovrovsky "A". . (cm.

"Scooter engine capacity"). Scooters are becoming increasingly popular vehicles in urban environments.

In Europe, the opposite picture is observed: demand for 50 cc scooters has sharply decreased. The reason for this is the requirement for vehicle registration and a driver’s license, but most importantly, the need for insurance, the cost of which can be comparable to the cost of the scooter itself. Since in our country everything is not so strict yet, we can expect a flow of used equipment from European countries.

A worthy alternative to European used motorcycles is a product of joint Russian-Chinese production, the ZiD scooter. The Kovrov "Degtyarev Plant", specializing in the production of motorcycles, entered into an agreement to assemble scooters from the Chinese company Lifan, and for several years has been successfully producing the ZiD scooter - one of the most affordable scooters.

The history of the plant began during the First World War, when the country experienced an acute shortage of automatic small arms. In 1916, the first Russian joint-stock company of rifle and machine gun factories was created in Petrograd to implement the proposal of the Danish syndicate to build a new machine gun factory in the center of Russia.

Scooter ZID-Lifan

So, in August 1916, the construction of the first buildings of the plant began in the city of Kovrov, Vladimir region. Today the plant, which has been producing weapons for almost a century, is better known to us as a manufacturer of motorcycles. The Kovrov plant has a range of excellent equipment in its arsenal, ranging from 36 cc scooters to 200 cc motorcycles and ATVs.

The turn signal light is duplicated by a high-pitched buzzer, which prevents you from forgetting to turn it off after making a maneuver. These are light and docile cars, designed for riders of different weight categories, depending on the model. The products of the Kovrov plant are quite worthy equipment that deserves trust. Factory workers carefully ensure that scooters are assembled according to all rules, in compliance with established technologies.

Low-power equipment has its own certain advantages, which include not only the absence of the need for a driver’s license and registration. Moving at low speed, you can fully enjoy the contemplation of nature. In addition, if necessary, it is easy to transport the scooter: three people can fit it into a small truck, such as a Mazda BT, where it fits well.

The advantage of scooters is their ability to maneuver in traffic, which gives rise to the idea that traffic jams are for losers.
