The "Ant": new life of the Soviet vehicle

Andrey Lobov, the leading partner of the project "Duyunov's motors", improved the legendary Soviet motor scooter the "Ant" by mounting a DA-90S motor modernized using the "Slavyanka" technology. This is the first version of the experimental vehicle. It was made a hybrid at the request of the owner to compare the capabilities of Duyunov's motor and an internal combustion engine.

The cargo tricycle was popular in the USSR as an affordable and practical vehicle. It was used both in rural areas and in cities to transport cargos weighing about 400 kilograms.

The production of "Ants" was discontinued in 1995, but they are still relevant for the Russian hinterland. Residents of villages use this vehicle for individual household facilities and farming when transporting goods over short distances Unlike modern short-lived Chinese rivals, the Soviet "Ant" is distinguished by a good performance, subject to independent repair and can serve its owner for many years more.

One of the notable disadvantages of the Soviet tricycle is high fuel consumption. Mounting a combined winding electric motor solved this problem. The "Ant" became not only cheaper in operation, but also significantly improved in speed and maneuverability as demonstrated by the field tests.

Previous developments by Andrey Lobov: motor sleigh and ATV with Duyunov's motors — quickly gained popularity. There are a lot of people who want to take a ride on "Emelya's sleigh" in the Park "Etnomir", and the video of the ATV pulling a 2-ton Toyota Tundra on a rope went viral in the Internet. The "Ant" has every chance to duplicate the success of its predecessors.

If you want to give your favorite vehicle a second life, to reveal its maximum potential, it is possible thanks to mounting a motor upgraded using the "Slavyanka" technology.

These motors can either be purchased from the official ASPP Weihai dealers, such as Andrey Lobov, or by contacting the licensed winders for rewinding the motor.
