ABC partner with innovative Spanish engine manufacturer INNengine to create a totally unique motorcycle based around its ground breaking e-REX 700cc one stroke engine.
INNengine signifies the most remarkable revolution in internal combustion engines since the inception of the Otto engine. Its revolutionary patented technology is a breakthrough in terms of weight and size-to-power ratio, as well as efficiency, all while being completely vibration-free! These qualities make it the ideal choice for a compelling solution for modern power generation and propulsion needs.
This remarkable powerplant has the following qualities:
- 700cc with 120hp and 244nm
- Patented one stroke technology 400% specific power
- 38 kilo weight
- 70% smaller and lighter than conventional ICE
- 22% more fuel efficient than conventional ICE
- Vibration free running
- Multifuel capabilities
- 53% fewer internal components than conventional ICE
- No crankshaft, camshaft, valve train, connecting rods or cylinder head
The company states th e-REX comes to replace conventional 4Stroke engines in all current applications and more. It’s state of the art technology lowers consumption & emissions compared to any modern 4Stroke engine while being 4x more powerful and compact. After hundreds of hours of testing and having powered a demo car, our e-REX engine has achieved TRL6 and we are on track of achieving TRL9.
There are 2 identical/reciprocal cam-tracks whose profile defines the engine´s cinematic and whose projection forms the main shaft which is hollow and split
The piston-groups’ linear stroke is transformed into rotational movement by their interaction with the cam-tracks and their opposed-piston configuration opens and closes exhaust ports before intake ports and creates uniflow scavenging
Having Variable compression ratio on demand means that for the first time an engine and it’s combustion chamber does not have to be optimised for a particular fuel’s energy release conditions but can be configured to work with many different ones.
The company states, why do we say that our engine is neither a 2 stroke nor a 4 stroke, but a 1 stroke engine instead? We get this question a lot usually followed by some comparison liking it to a 2 stroke engine.
The fact of the matter is that other than having cylinder ports INNengine works nothing like a 2 stroke.
For starters, our combustion chamber has two combustion events per revolution, this is 4x more than a 4S and double the power of a 2S.
We call it 1Stroke because it has none of the emission issues of the 2Stroke. There is no oil in the mix and pressurized lubricated areas are far from the combustion chamber.
There’s also the fact that the piston never works as a pump (sucking air) and Variable Port Timing… and so much more.
As you can see from the information above this new revolutionary engine is an ideal new power plant for a motorcycle and we plan to build a running prototype for further evaluation testing soon and then hopefully a production run if there is enough public demand..
