- In this video we analyze the split single engine also known as Twingle.
We will see how it works, why it was invented and why it fell into disuse.
Also because it was used by many motorcycle brands.

I'm so tired of new videos where you have to describe how an engine works before even starting the topic.
I had never seen a twin single engine explained before. Nice.
I bought a used Sears Puck 250 in 1975. Interesting engine, lots of low end torque. Wished I still had it.
This is the best summary of the Twingle I have seen.
Amazing, been driving for 50 years, love cars, lived in the town where Bubble cars were made, but never even heard of this engine type. Thank you I enjoyed every minute.
Never heard of the twingle. Interesting!
In 1964 a friend bought a used Puch 250 SGS that would only go 20 mph. The motorcycle shops could not fix it. I did and got to know the Twingle system. In 1968 I bought one new from Sears as an Allstate. It would not run from new. I told Sears what was wrong and they would not believe a stupid customer knew anything, so they had to refund my money. Too bad, it was a nice bike for its size back then.
It's funny, I figured out that the pistons needed to be slightly out of phase with each other to optimize this... and then you mention it. My vision was the second one, 2 independent rods on one journal.
I had heard of Twingles but had no clue why they were a good idea. Thanks for the explanation.
I LOVE THESE VIDEOS, Cause this is the place to go where you wanna go when you think you know all about engines, but theres more to see, and its type of content know one else gives, showing deisgns and internals and explaining in depth from historical point of view to advantage and disadvantages, to all the components, That is next tier level yt creator.
The stepped piston two stroke engine fitted to the Wolf motorcycle on display at the British National Motorcycle Museum is another version of two stroke technology.
Glad you mentioned the DKW
I love learning about the innovations of many past engines.
I have been a piston head for years, and this is all new to me.. Thanks

The Danish police used the Puch 250 in conjunktion with the Ariel Square Four. The Puch in towns, and the Ariel on the open road. So whereever they showed up, the bad guys had a hard time. ;o)
Dear Repairman 22 you might like to do a show on the "Rotary Radial" aircraft engine which was widely used in WW-1. It's the only engine I know of where the crankshaft was bolted to the firewall and the engine rotated around around the crankshaft. It was a 2 stroke engine with the propeller bolted to the crankcase. Sooooo... the engine spun at the same speed as the prop.
I remember the old Sears Allstate 250 motorcycle had this. In those days they were fast! 😄
In the UK there was an odd, but fairly successful, little car called theTrojan. Very plain, simple and economical it was powered by a four cylinder double, split single of 1500cc. Probably the strangest features of this engine were piston rods designed to bend (a little) and a remotely located carburettor some distance from the engine.
