A two-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston, or one crankshaft revolution. Unlike four-stroke engines, which require four strokes of the piston to complete a cycle (intake, compression, power, and exhaust), two-stroke engines combine intake and compression into one stroke and power and exhaust into another. This design allows for a simpler and lighter engine with fewer moving parts, often resulting in higher power-to-weight ratios. However, two-stroke engines typically have lower fuel efficiency and higher emissions compared to their four-stroke counterparts.
