YouTuber swaps dead Harley engine for twin jet turbines, hits 97 km/h
The YouTube channel Bikes and Beards replaced the dead engine of a non-running Harley-Davidson with two micro jet turbines mounted on either side of the rear wheel, producing about 336 newtons of thrust. The 159 kg custom bike hit 97 km/h in testing, uses no gears and moves on thrust alone, like a scooter. Build time topped 400 hours, and the team says it needs a safety cover to contain turbine debris if the unit fails.
