That's the coolest #### I've witnessed in a while. hmmmmm I wonder what a 101B engine would do?

Even more hazardous?

Good choice on using a bike with a front freewheeling system.

Have you used a full tank of fuel yet?

Nice touch on the routing of the exhaust! Nice clean build! REP sent!



I have a folding bike......what could I do what that?

We've run it through several tanks and this past Saturday my buddy took it on a 20 mile ride and was left with 6 oz of fuel. After all the calculations for volume and conversions it gets 77 MPG and has a range of about 23 miles with the current fuel tank.

Next modification is front brake. Either an ATOM drum brake or a disc brake. There is some vibration but not too bad unless you go on a 20 mile road trip. I think it might get a springer front end in the near future too.

Any issues with cooling? I'd want to build a shroud to push air around the cylinder.

 

[gee_dubya75]

not so far but that is something we thought about. You get pretty good air movement at 35 mph :hmm3grin2orange:

The wheelie bar is a nice touch on this one. Not sure where ya'd put your feet ridin' it, tho.

But after much research on the subject, I'm sorta leanin' towards this one as just a little more bad-ass all the way around.

Looks like it'll go real fast backwards, but who's looking at the drive train design?

WoooHooo!!!

Cool thread, but the pics are gone. Anyone got any pics of this one?

FYI - I ran across something similar when I was visiting Magnus and his friend Ake in Sweden a few months back -- 08 powered minibike. No brakes. Looks like fun! Ake and Magnus both had of tractors, too, along with a few hundred chainsaws as well...
