Diesel Motorcycles using Ural Parts

Patrick Cramer's Hatz Ural Diesel Motorcycle

It was a pleasure to meet Patrick Cramer for the first time in Hamm 2009 and I thank him for telling me about his homemade motorcycle. Based around a 1970's Ural he constructed it 3 years ago sourcing extra parts from Ural-Hamburg. He used the original gearbox and fitted it to a Hatz 462cc engine more commonly found on the machine's produced by Jocken Sommer. Patrick told me he also used the original shaft drive but changed the cogs at the rear wheel to the second largest setup possibly 10-30 or 40. He also said the machine attended the recent dieselbike event in France. He has also been to the UK rally on this bike.

Wolfgangs Daihatsu Ural Diesel Motorcycle

Like Andreas, Wolfgang has developed a Ural based machine. I saw it at the 2002 Rally and the wiring has since been improved :-)

Hatz Ural Motorcycle

I'm grateful to Dave for sending me this picture and details forwarded onto him from Alaska. Ural Dealer Pete Marsh has managed to fit a Hatz 2G40 Diesel engine into his two wheel drive Ural motorcycle. I guess two wheel drive is essential for any machine used in these kinds of conditions and the diesel's torque would be ideal as long as it doesn't wax up from the cold.
