Zid 50 pilot maximum speed. The history of ZID mopeds: serial, conceptual and racing models

For a long time, machine guns were produced at the Degtyarev plant, and from the first peaceful 1946, there was a conversion to the production of K-125 motorcycles. Already by 1950, powerful motorcycles of the Kovrovets brand were produced. Progress was made in the nineties, when a small displacement motorcycle was released.

Motorcycles with an engine capacity of 50 cubic meters

ZID 50 "Pilot"

Was released in 1995. It was equipped with a fairly strong two-stroke fifty cc engine. The lightweight moped turned out to be very powerful, and could reach a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, while only 2 liters of fuel per hundred kilometers were consumed.

A three-speed gearbox was connected in one piece with the engine. Four years later, a model with a raised front wing was released. And later, the plant pleased with the powerful motorcycle ZiD-50-01, equipped with a lifan engine, a semi-automatic clutch was used in this model.

Based on the ZID 50 "Pilot" model, the cargo ZDK-2.404 was later produced. She was three-wheeled and weighed only 112 kilograms. All specifications were the same as the previous model. was 3 liters per hundred kilometers. The already known lifan engine was installed on it. The model was supplemented with a rear differential.

Since 2000, the plant has been producing ZID 50-01 "Active" . There were no significant differences from previous models. A rather powerful Chinese-made lifan engine was used. The model was distinguished by a beautiful and stylish plastic body kit, similar to the lining of cruisers.

ZID - 36

It was a tiny scooter, which was also foldable. This made it possible to transport it in the trunk of a car and store it on the balcony of a high-rise building. The model was equipped powerful engine and developed a speed of up to 35 kilometers per hour. The ZID-36 existed from 1997 to 2007, turned out to be economically unprofitable and was discontinued.

ZID 50 "Arkan"

The first model of a domestic scooter, released in 2000. The advantages of the model include:

• chassis from a moped ZID - 50 "Pilot";
• powerful accumulator battery;
• indicators of fuel level, low amount of oil;
• separate lubrication system

This model differed from foreign models by the presence of a three-speed gearbox. It was mechanical, not CVT. However, it was precisely because of this detail that the scooter was not in demand, although it was sold very inexpensively.

Later, models of scooters with an engine capacity of 50 liters were released. These included "Nika", ZID-50 "Arkan" with a variator, ZID KM.

ZID 50-05 or ZID Lifan 50

Later, the ZID 50-05 model was produced at the Degtyarov Plant. . She was a licensed copy of the famous scooter lifan 50. The Russian model was similar to its Chinese counterpart. Its main advantages include:

• powerful four-stroke engine brand Lifan 1P39FMA;
• air cooling of the engine;
• weight not exceeding 82 kilograms;
• strong plastic casing, which is not subject to mechanical impact and corrosion;
• large bright front headlight;
• the presence of a passenger seat;
• the presence of spacious trunks for storing things and equipment, located under the driver's seat and dashboard;
• the presence of a glove box for documents and small things, lockable.

To the features of the ZID 50-05, like the Chinese scooter Lifan 50 , accepted to refer to:

• a soft saddle that allows you not to get tired from a long road;
• alloy wheels for wheels;
• easy to read dashboard;
• comfortable passenger seat;
• the presence of handles for which the passenger can hold.

ZID 50-05 and scooter lifan 50 were famous for their:

• small size;
• ease of management;
• increased maneuverability;
• a high level of security.

Model scooter lifan 50 and its Russian copy are suitable for beginner motorcyclists. Their driving does not require special knowledge, skills or training.

The Lifan 50 scooter is a high-quality and fashionable scooter model that has reached a high level of popularity in the world. ZID 50-05 was also in demand, because it was of high quality and quite cheap.

History of the Plant named after V.A. Degtyarev (ZID) in the city of Kovrov began during the First World War: on August 27, 1916, the construction of the first buildings of the Kovrov machine-gun plant began. In 1946, the first K-125 motorcycles began to be produced in Kovrov, in the 50s - Kovrovets and Voskhod. Well, the first small-capacity motorcycle of the plant appeared only in the 90s.

ZID 50 Pilot (1995-present)

ZID 50 Pilot became the first moped of the plant. It first appeared in 1995 and was equipped with a 3.5-horsepower 50cc 2-stroke engine. He developed 50 km / h and consumed 2.2 l / 100 km at a speed of 30 km / h. A small moped weighing 76 kg had a three-speed gearbox, combined in one unit with the engine. In 1999, a batch of mopeds with a raised front fender was released. In 2004, an improved version of the ZiD-50-01 appeared with a 4-stroke Chinese Lifan engine 2.72 hp Interestingly, a semi-automatic clutch was used here, so the clutch handle disappeared.

ZID 50 Cargo (ZDK-2.404) (1995-present)

In addition to the two-wheeled moped ZID 50 Pilot, they also produced a three-wheeled cargo model ZDK-2.404. It got the same 50cc, 3.5hp, two-stroke, single-cylinder engine, but its maximum speed reached only 40 km / h. Fuel consumption - 3 l / 100 km at a speed of 30 km / h. Weight - 112 kg. In 2004, a version of the ZID 50-02 appeared with a 4-stroke Chinese Lifan engine with a power of 2.72 hp. Moreover, such a moped could be supplemented with a rear differential.

ZID 50-01 Active (since 2000)

In 2000, another version of the ZID 50 model appeared, which was called "Active". It was equipped with the same 2-stroke ZDK-50 engine, and its main difference was in the original cruiser-style plastic body kit. In 2004, at the same time as ZID 50 Pilot, Aktiv received a Chinese 4-stroke Lifan engine.

ZID 50-05

More recently, the Degtyarev plant began producing a licensed copy of the Chinese Lifan moped under the ZID 50-05 brand. Lightweight and extremely cheap moped is equipped with a 4-stroke carbureted engine LIFAN, 1P39FMA air-cooled. The same is installed on all other models of the "50" family. The double scooter weighs only 82 kg.

ZiD-36 "Bird" (1997-2001)

In 1997, the plant presented its new development - a tiny folding mokik ZID 36 Ptah. Its folding handlebar and drop-down seat allowed it to be transported in a conventional passenger car and store on the balcony. In 2001, the plant began serial production of Birds. It was equipped with a ZDK-36 engine with a working volume of only 36 cm3 and a power of 1.5 hp. Maximum speed - 35 km / h, fuel consumption - 2.8 l / 100 km. Gearbox - two-stage with foot switch. Bird weighed only 35 kg. dimensions- 1400x650x1100 (950) mm. Despite the interesting design, Ptah turned out to be economically unprofitable, and production was curtailed in 2007.

ZID 50 "Arkan" (ZDK-2.501) (2000-2003)

In 2000, the Kovrov Plant produced its first ZID 50 Arkan scooter. He immediately became a sensation at all Russian and even international exhibitions. "Arkan" was made on the already proven chassis of the ZiD 50 Pilot moped, which has already become a bestseller on Russian market. The scooter absorbed all the most innovative that was available at that time at the factory: a battery, an electric starter, a neutral indicator, a fuel level indicator and an indicator of insufficient oil. An important detail is a separate lubrication system that simplifies refueling. There was one “but” that distinguished the Arkan from foreign analogues: the gearbox here is also from the Pilot, i.e. mechanical three-stage, not a variator, as on all foreign models. In the spring of 2001, the plant produced the first experimental batch of minirollers in the amount of 50 pieces. But the moped went ... In total, until 2003, no more than a thousand of these machines were produced. "Arkan" and Vyatsko-Polyansky "Strizh", although they were cheaper than new foreign scooters, were not in demand. And the main reason was precisely the lack of a variator in the design of scooters.

Concept Models

ZID Alpha-50

In the early 90s, plant engineers began to think about replacing the Pilot. This is how the promising Alfa-50 model with a very original design appeared. The engine on the Alpha-50 remained the same, with a 50 cc power of 3.5 hp, which allowed the moped to accelerate to 50 km / h. Consumption remained at the same level - 2.2 l / 100 km at a speed of 30 km / h. Weight - 76 kg. But such a moped did not go into series, and the plant still produces obsolete Pilots.

ZID TURBONE-50 (1993-1998)

From 1993 to 1998 at the Plant. Dyagterev, along with the Pilot's successor, Alfa-50, a moped equipped with a variator was being developed. Mokik was named TURBONE-50, featured an interesting innovative design and could become very popular. But, only 11 pieces were produced. One of the surviving mokiks is in the private collection of Nikolai Tubaev in Kovrov.

ZID 50 Arkan Prototype (1999)

In 1999, a prototype of the Arkan scooter was made with an original plastic body kit. The whole technical novelty was similar to the ZID 50 Pilot mokiku.

Rusak (1999)

Custom mokik "Rusak" was a prototype moped in the style of American cruisers. The entire technical basis was borrowed from the serial ZID-50 Pilot.

Nika (2000)

In 2000, a prototype of Nick's moped was released, which is a ZID-50 Pilot in the enduro style. Mokik received an appropriate body kit and reinforced suspension.

ZID 80 Arkan (2000)

The model of a perspective mokik was created by designer Alexey Bobylev. He received a five-speed gearbox, a front wheel disc brake and a separate lubrication system. It was in the factory museum, after the dissolution of which it was sold into private hands. It is currently in the collection of Vladimir Myachin.

ZID 80 Arkan Custom (2000)

Another promising mockup created by designer Alexey Bobylev. From the ZID 80, Arkan differed in a body kit in the style of American cruisers.

ZID 50 Arkan with CVT (2001)

As mentioned above, the main reason for the failure of sales of the ZID 50 Arkan scooter was the lack of automatic transmission in construction. But in 2001, the plant produced a prototype Arkan with a variator, which, unfortunately, never went into production.

ZID 80 (2001)

The mock-up of a promising enduro-style mokik was created by designer A. Kabaev.

ZID KM (2002)

A prototype was created in 2002 motocross bike ZID KM with ZDK-50 engine.

ATV "Double" (2006)

When things in the motorcycle production of ZiD were so bad that they were ready to build anything, just to get cash, comrades from St. Petersburg turned to SKB. And they asked to implement their long-standing idea - to build a double moped so that you can ride with a passenger, and at the same time not worry about maintaining balance ( perfect option for drunk drivers - for "fifty kopecks, after all," rights "are not needed"). They took "Pilot" as a basis, using a number of nodes from their Tarpan all-terrain vehicle.

The front suspension turned out to be especially original - independent, on trailing arms. Nobody in the world had such a thing, as well as a way to "fix" a passenger - holding onto a motorcycle-type steering wheel. The quad was powered by a Chinese Lifan engine with 2.72 hp, the same one that was installed on the Pilots. The device, named without much imagination "Double", was taken by the customer, paying generously, and taken to St. Petersburg. The further fate of the "Double", unfortunately, is not traced ...

Sports models

ZiD-50-SMB (1998-1999)

The sports mokik ZID-50-SMB for a motoball was a ZID-50 Pilot with a full motoball hitch and gear shifting on the steering wheel. It was intended for athletes aged 11 to 16 years. A small party dispersed to the clubs of the country, and European clubs showed interest, but things did not go any further. Overall dimensions - 1700x980x750 mm. Wheelbase- 1150 mm. Weight - 76 kg. Two-stroke carburetor engine ZDK-50-01 with a working volume of 49.9 cm3 and a power of 4 hp. Gearbox - 3-speed.

ZiD-50XL-Cross (1999)

The prototype of the children's cross mokik ZID-50XL-Cross was created in 1999. It had the same ZDK-50 engine with a power of 3.5 hp. and a 3-speed gearbox from the ZID 50 Pilot. Things did not go beyond the production of prototypes.

ZID-50 Cross (2000)

A variant of a sports body kit for the chassis ZDK-2.103. It was released in a small batch.

ZID Ptakha-NRMF (2003)

A prototype sports children's motorcycle"Ptah" was manufactured by ZID by order of the National Russian Motorcycle Federation in 2003 in a single copy. Specifications identical to the standard mokiku ZID 36 Ptah.

ZID Pilot 80 NRMF (2003)

A prototype of the children's sports motorcycle "Pilot-80-NRMF" was manufactured at ZiD by order of the National Russian Motorcycle Federation in 2003 in a single copy.

ZID GAS-GAS (2003)

"ZiD-Gas-Gas" was a combination of the running Spanish mokik GAS-GAS EC 50 Rookie and the Kovrov engine ZDK-50. The mokik was made by order of the Russian dealer Gas-Gas. According to the characteristics, the engine of the "Pilot" was similar to the native one, but still they differed - three gears instead of six, air cooling instead of water and the absence of an electric starter. A total of 2 copies were made, one of which is located

If you do not want to ride in a stuffy, crowded transport and depend on the schedule of its movement or just walk, we suggest purchasing a Zid 50-05 moped.

Conveyor assembly of a moped at OAO Zavod im. V.A. Degtyarev” is carried out with a 100% check of each unit and type tests, which guarantees the reliability and quality of the vehicle. An inexpensive and easy-to-use moped Zid 50-05 is indispensable when traveling around the city. He will easily take you to the institute or shop. It is also easy to manage it on country roads, getting to a summer cottage, a picnic, hunting or fishing.

Maneuverable, with a comfortable trunk and economical fuel consumption, the ZiD 50-05 moped is for people of any age.

Plant them. V. Degtyareva, better known to us as ZiD, was founded during the First World War. It was then that the first buildings of the Kovrov machine-gun plant began to be built in Kirov. Many years later, in 1946, he began to produce motorcycles. Many probably remember the legendary K-125, Kovrovets and, of course, Voskhod. And the very first small-capacity motorcycle of the Kovrov plant left the line only in the nineties of the last century. It was the ZiD-50 "Pilot" model.

First swallow

ZiD-50 "Pilot", which appeared on domestic roads in 1995, became the first moped of this plant. And four years later, another batch was released in Kirov with a raised wing in front. They named it Active. And although it was the same as the "Pilot", two-stroke, however, there was a significant difference: it differed from its ancestor by the presence of the original plastic body kit in the style of cruisers. In 2004, this version was slightly improved by creating the ZiD-50-01, which was equipped with a four-stroke Chinese engine. brands Lifan with a power of 2.72 Horse power.

It is noteworthy that a semi-automatic clutch was used in this model, as a result of which its handle disappeared. Like the ZiD-50 "Pilot" moped, it was also intended for tourist and business trips. Also, the vehicle was suitable for walking on a variety of surfaces.

ZiD-50 "Pilot" - specifications

It is powered by a 3.5 horsepower 50cc two-stroke engine. Small in size, it develops a maximum speed of up to 50 km / h, while consuming up to 2.2 liters on average for every hundred km. This moped weighs seventy-six kilograms. Initially, it was equipped with a three-speed gearbox combined with the engine in one block.

Judging by the reviews, the ZiD-50 "Pilot", which is still not uncommon on our roads today, is most suitable for short trips. It is preferred by those who like to feel adrenaline and whistling wind. ZiD-50 "Pilot" is suitable for all age categories. It is simply indispensable for those who want to get the basic skills to ride two-wheeled vehicles with a motor.

In addition, the ZiD-50 "Pilot" is very unpretentious in repair. It is equipped with rearview mirrors and turn signals. Thanks to the cubage of the engine, this already legendary moped can be ridden without a driver's license.

disadvantages

Like any other vehicle, the ZiD-50 "Pilot" is also characterized by both its advantages and disadvantages. Its very first minus, the owners note rather weak depreciation and a not very strong frame, which are especially noticeable on impassable roads and when jumping on bumps.

In addition, the headlight of the ZiD-50 "Pilot" for the head light is provided only for detection on the road. And yet, according to some, the shape of the seat is not very convenient: after a long ride, the body becomes very numb.

Owner reviews ZiD 50-05

ZiD 50-05, 2013

Well, perhaps, let's start - the ZiD 50-05 is exactly the same as the Delta and Orion 100. Well, it won't work for long distances, weak engine it is better to put on one hundred and ten cubes. The moped is light, very convenient, not very beautiful, the tank is very small, and I personally don’t like the trunk either. There are two places on it, but only if two teenagers sit there, they will fit, and if there are two normal men, then no, and it will be difficult for him to lead them. The front fork is bad, the first thousand kilometers was just wooden, rear shock absorbers bad ones, I have already changed them, since it is impossible to ride on those. You need to qualitatively run in, if you go badly, then ZiD 50-05 can be killed for a year. Change everything as written in the instructions. There is little gasoline, which is very convenient. Rides slowly. And there are very bad bolts on it, when I bought it, half of the bolts still had to be tightened. My opinion is a moped for a neat quiet ride. And it's up to you to decide whether to take it or not.

Advantages : eats little gasoline. Not expensive.

disadvantages : bad materials. Not handsome.

Alexey, Cherepovets

ZiD 50-05, 2012

The moped is not bad, the engine capacity is really only 48 cubic meters. see and the ZiD 50-05 does not drive very fast (about 60 km / h), but there are no problems with traffic police. Yes, and I personally bought a moped in 2010, and I will tell you that the engine of this unit is reliable (there have been no breakdowns as such until now). As for the frame of this unit, it doesn’t pull higher than 4 points, since the metal is rather weak and therefore it is advisable not to carry gravity. And so, in general, the unit is good (no worse than the "alpha" and other "Chinese").

Advantages : compared to the "alpha", the patency is better, and not expensive (21-22 thousand rubles).

disadvantages : frame metal is weak. Tires are soft (not off-road).

Alexey, Nizhny Novgorod

ZiD 50-05, 2012

This miracle of technology is produced at the Degtyarev plant. From Lifan brand components. The ZiD 50-05 moped is quite light (up to one hundred kilograms), easy to operate, and economical. Good visibility (two rear-view mirrors). The seat is designed for two riders (only not solid, but separate). Therefore, the data vehicles more and more popular with the fairer sex. A huge plus is that there is a small trunk on the ZiD 50-05 frame (in front of the driver) and you can put shopping bags on it. The engine is a four-stroke, 48 cc, clearly fits into the category of mopeds, which means that driving license not required. Only a helmet is needed. The moped easily keeps the speed allowed in locality(60 km/h). On it you can go to nature, he is not afraid of bad roads. True, I do not advise you to travel long distances, with such a speed of movement (too tiring).

Advantages : maneuverable, easy to operate, economical.

disadvantages : wheels are not interchangeable (different sizes).

Alexander, Novosibirsk

ZiD 50-05, 2013

The first step after buying a ZiD 50-05 is to immediately check all connections (bolts, nuts) and tighten them. You can treat them with silicone grease or WD40, and then you will have a better chance that nothing will unscrew. But after this method, nuts and bolts can boil so that you won’t break it only if you use a liquid wrench. If possible, I advise you to immediately change all the wiring to insulated or something more expensive. It is also better to immediately change all the hoses, the more expensive the better. There is also no protection against dry switching on the ZiD 50-05, since the gears are located in a circle, you can safely switch off the engine from 4 gears to neutral. But there is also a drawback, because I drive down a country road and turn on 4th gear right away, I have already touched the gearshift lever more than once and switched to 3 or neutral - this is the second, this is not very good for a moped. As I read on the ZiD forums in the 2014 model, this problem has already been eliminated and you can’t switch from 4 to neutral without depressing the clutch. What can I say - the moped is light, the engine is 48 cubic meters, the “maximum speed” on the speedometer is 60 km / h, and on the transmission 80, then a cut-off is triggered. But it’s not realistic to accelerate to 80 on the ZiD 50-05, because. the engine is very weak. A person up to 100 kg pulls calmly, on a good road you can safely accelerate up to 60. A person above 120 kg is already barely pulling. A friend rode a girl on my moped, the total weight was about 120 kg. The moped was no longer confidently accelerating, but still picked up a speed of 60 km. On country roads, the ZiD 50-05 also goes well, but on the sand it can demolish the rear, so I immediately turn on 4th gear and drive quietly as if in a low gear. It is especially good to ride through the mud and not stall. The moped just smells gasoline. How much it consumes, I do not know, but the tank was enough for a long time. Problems for 2 seasons - at first the carburetor sneezed, the neighbor quickly blew it without removing it and set it up. Then he began to twitch when shifting gears, as it turned out the clutch burned out, bought a new one for 1650 rubles.

Advantages : low fuel consumption. Spare parts are always available in the central region.

disadvantages : The Chinese engine cannot be compared with the Soviet one in terms of quality and performance.
