Abstract
A start assist system is configured to generate torsion load on an crankshaft of a motorcycle. The configurations include a hub adapted to couple with a kick start lever on a motorcycle, a load generating unit, the loading generating unit adapted to generate torsion on the hub, and circuitry to regulate operation of the load generating unit in response to a position of the kick start lever. The torsion load operates to assist an operator to kick-start the machine.
