How do you pedal it?

haha I have seen this thing before. It's a jet engine with a bike strapped to it.

Wow cool, ive seen this before too... its not just any jet engine, its a pulse jet engine, a crazy turn of the century Russian invention with literally no moving parts! Darpa was experimenting with the technology in the 90's and were supposed to have built a plane codenamed "Aurora" that hit mach 6! It was supposedly what caused all those sonic booms and "donuts on a rope" clouds in southern cali in the early 90's... anyone remember seeing or hearing them? Lol not a very bike relevant post, but who isn't a sucker for a good conspiracy or black project... really cool bike tho, I imagine it would be uber loud

This is the type of engine used in either V1 or V2 rockets or maybe both.

If you started one of these up in your driveway, you would instantly be considered a "Doc Brown" by everyone in your community.

The bike is as cool as it gets, but the actual noise is not only way over the top loud (open headers in a closed garage loud), but not a particularly nice sound either. No matter what size engine, the pitch always is outside the realm of what would be considered acceptable.

Love the bike, though.

Go to a high end radio control hobby shop. They have real jet engines for sale. If you put one or two on your bike it will go like a bat out of heck.
