And when I say limitations I think about the electric reverse motors or so.Įven so, the system is an easy and awesome upgrade to any heavyweight bike, and it introduces a completely new level of functionality, convenience and why not, safety. Not sure how enduring these gear are, because I can almost picture crazy riders (like myself) trying to see how fast can the bike go in reverse, given the fact that the belt drive does not come with limitations. They are apparently crafted from composite “like a deposit” materials. The gears inside this special pulley are not made from metal. The system uses planetary gears to switch the rotation direction of the wheel, and a bar-mounted switch does the trick. The clutch is your best friend, as always, and you’ve got complete control over the bike. How the system works First off, you’d still use your first gear to go in reverse, and this makes everything much easier. Of course, even some chain-drive bikes could be adapted with a belt final transmission to accommodate the reverse pulley system. That is, as long as they have belt transmission. The reverse pulley is integrated in the rear wheel, and has nothing to do with the rest of the transmission, which makes adapting it to other motorcycles a fairly easy job. The new system uses a special-design pulley which can be set to work in reverse with a pull of a lever.

And electric reverse motors are not different, either. Still, this means adding a new assembly to the transmission, which in turn, adds extra bulk and reduces the low-speed maneuverability. Making things simpler, sort of Some of these big bikes are equipped with a dedicated reverse gear, even though this is more of a trike thing. And if you’re thinking about loaded cruisers or baggers plus a passenger who’s not exactly a top-model, getting out of your spot may be tricky. Many bikes are heavy and shorter, less strong riders are having a hard time moving them around in the limited space of a parking lot.
