Today I want to tell you about a very interesting motorcycle with a side trailer, which was produced in France and was introduced in 2000,and went into the series
since 2001 .Zeus was a single combination β that is, without a sidecar, the motorcycle was not sold at all, and then you will understand why.Most of the components
were borrowed from the Peugeot 206, so many of the Zeus controls were typically automotive ,such as floor-mounted clutch, brake and gas pedals.
So let’s look at this miracle of engineering in more detail.
Even now, Zeus attracts the eyes with his shapes and futuristic design,and what does it say about 2001 when he just began to appear on the streets.
This spaceship matches its name and is 2.6 meters long and 1.8 meters wide.Thanks to the automotive components, Zeus turned out to be very reliable,which was very much
to the taste of a lover of long-distance travel.This is facilitated by a large luggage compartment under the seat and, of course, a side trailer, which
it could be both single and double, it also controlled the acoustic system.
The heart of this unusual motorcycle is a four-cylinder inline engine from Peugeot 206 S 16 with a volume of 1997 cm3, with two camshafts and 4 valves
per cylinder, it produced 135 hp. the maximum power at 6000 rpm,and the maximum torque was 190 Nm at 4100 rpm, this power plant
I accelerated a small car from 0 to 100 km/h in 8 seconds,and the maximum speed was 210 km / h.Unfortunately, I did not find the exact characteristics of Zeus with this engine
,but acceleration to 100 will be clearly faster due to the lower mass, which is 650 kg.
