Scooter Reed Valve Systems

Since their introduction in the second decade of the twentieth century, scooters have been the go-to choice for short trips in the urban environment. Modern scooters can also cope with long journeys, but they remain one of the favorite vehicles for everyone who needs to navigate the chaotic traffic of modern towns. Like many other two-wheelers, scooters are powered by two-stroke engines, which are lighter, simpler, and have higher specific power than their four-stroke counterparts. Two-stroke motors are equipped with reed valves to optimize intake during the up-stroke, hence improving the efficiency, output, and economy of the engine.

Reed valves allow the air-fuel mixture to move in just one direction from the carburetor to the crankcase when the up-stroke of the piston creates a vacuum in the crankcase. During the down-stroke, the valve closes, forcing the mixture into the cylinder for combustion and not letting it go back to the intake. The particular design of these valves, moreover, increases turbulence within the mixture, contributing to its atomization. We offer premium scooter reed valve systems to ensure that you can get the most from your engine in terms of performance, durability, and efficiency.
