Stavba jízdního kola s motorem – Bartuněk Miloš (2023)

Why would someone decide to build a bicycle with an auxiliary gasoline engine, and even a replica? For example, because they want to create something from their own imagination, with their own hands, and they desire to own a curiosity that is not only fun but perhaps even useful. The book contains not only a description of the construction but also many interesting facts: the history of bicycles, the history of internal combustion engines, descriptions of various types of drive constructions, couplings, and other parts. The description of renovating an old bicycle is also useful as a maintenance guide for classic bicycles without engines. The creation of a replica bicycle with an auxiliary engine is described by the author based on their own practical experiences and includes potential problems that may arise during construction, along with suggestions for their solutions. The text is supplemented by numerous illustrative images and photographs. There is also a description of the differences in the use of electric bicycles and bicycles with internal combustion engines, their advantages, disadvantages, and comparisons. A summary of the legislation regarding bicycle equipment and operation is included, with an emphasis on bicycles with auxiliary engines. Some will use the book as a helper for their own creations, while others might read it in bed before sleeping. Some may even find it entertaining and laugh while reading it.
