The reason I mention it is the conventional whipper snipper type engines
make bugger all power, maybe a couple of horsepower.
This makes 10HP albeit at 21,000rpm, with a very limited usable rev range
(but you have pedals to help with that on a pushbike.) :).....

Thats running on 98 RON unleaded, or if you went for a couple of 15cc
engines running methanol/nitro you'd be up around the 14HP mark @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
26,000rpm.
Surely someone has tried it........
