Why single-cylinder two stroke engines are mostly used in Two-Wheelers? Most the manufactures prefer single-cylinder two stroke engines because of the following reasons: · A two-stroke cycle engine is more compact than a four-stroke cycle for the same amount of power handled. Therefore a two stroke cycle engine is preferred of a four stroke cycle engine in a two wheeler as it requires less space. · Two-wheelers, i.e. scooters, mopeds and motor cycles, are light duty vehicles to carry one or two passengers.
