Raket engines
The first Raket engine was introduced in 1972. Extensive research for a
reliable, simple to use, yet fun to drive gokart engine at an acceptable price,
had convinced Radne Motor to start the manufacture of such an engine.
Power chain saw engines are the toughest two stroke engines that are
built, and Radne Motor decided to build the gokart engine on well-tested
vital parts. Hence, cylinder and piston, crankshaft, carburettor and ignition
system were purchased. Radne Motor manufactured other parts that are
typical for a gokart engine, like the aluminium crankcase. Finally, the engine
was assembled and tested by Radne Motor before it was shipped. All Raket
engines have been built around this concept, which has proven to be very
successful.
Today the Raket line of engines consist of:
Raket 60
for the very young drivers. This engine has rope start, centrifugal
clutch and forced air cooling. It can be equipped with catalytic emission
control and a rev. limiter.
Raket 85
is the most popular and most produced Raket engine. It is used
in many countries for the youngest drivers. Often the same engine is used
with some type of power restrictor for the youngest, and later, with the
restrictor removed, for the more professional drivers. The Raket 85 engine
has a whole series of extras and conversion kits, so it can be used also for
indoor driving and for rental kart use.
Raket 120
is used mainly for Ultra Light Aircraft, so called Para-gliders. This
engine is extremely powerful for its low weight. But Raket 120 has found
many more uses, both for gokart and where the low weight in combination
with high power and good reliability is appreciated.
Spare parts and service for the Raket engines are available from Radne
Motor or from our distributors. We recommend that you consult our catalo-
gue. A new catalogue is produced every year, in which you find the latest
parts and also hints for the best use of your Raket engine.
