Fitted with three 63" rims and OTR tyres and chains, this
baby will almost certainly guarantee cars, trucks and
even
Volvo drivers will get out of your way. You will also be
able
to look down through cars' sunroofs as you go past.
Yes, you'll need a special licence to drive it and maybe
an
escort vehicle and a powerline safety crew to negotiate
some urban landscapes but roads may be optional, if you
wish.
Power provided by a reconditioned AGT-1500 gas turbine
as fitted to the M1A2 Abrams tank. (1100kW /
1500shp).
Throttle control can be either hand throttle, as on a
motorcycle, or pedal power, with a dynamo and relay
system set up to the pedals so the faster you pedal the
faster you go.

…and taking the end wall and a big chunk of roof with it. |

You can't get a lot more environmental than taking a chunk of it away with you... |

Also known as the mo' ped. |

Standard colour is Old Caterpillar Yellow. |

You can also add factory-fit streamers on the
handlebars, if you wish. |

I think that German one may have a 700hp gas
turbine, from a 1960s T-55 upgrade, [Twizz]. Not
sure. |
