Other than that it's amazing. You hit the nail here... That's exacly how I feel about it... The more I look at it, the more I see a crossbread between this.... Attachment: hobbelpaard.jpg and this .... Sorry......

Re: 2cv engines in bikes That bike was built for world championship of motorcycle building, that maybe make more clear why and what for this kind of solutions is made... https://www.facebook.com/AMDChampionshipAnd no, the "drivebility" isn't the main thing with these, and if I remember correct, the rules says the bike should be able to drive, but nothing about confort, reliability, and other normal issues with normal bikes... I liked more the WSA, one of the Finnish built bike, the builder has made by casting some parts, including engine blocks, wheels, carbs and some smaller parts...

Re: 2cv engines in bikes Why does a 2CV bike need such a huge battery when a bike with more compression get away with a small one. People on here with BMW power - are they or could they use a small bike battery?

Re: 2cv engines in bikes They don't need a huge battery, 2cv racers use batteries the size usually found on motorbikes. I'm sure my car would work on the original BMW size battery, a big battery just gives more leeway if you leave your lights on. When you see a big battery like that on a custom bike I always assume it because the builder used the one from the car without knowing any better. If you do use a small battery on a big engine you need a high quality one to give enough amps.

Re: 2cv engines in bikes Crikey, is it true that real men have no fear about using their wedding tackle as a crumple zone?

Re: 2cv engines in bikes Wouldn't ones shirt tails get caught betwixt the seat and the tyre?
Also, is the chain a little slack? Wouldn't it whip around like a streakers dick?
