I’m not sure what to make of this, but it seems to be some sort of homemade circus ride. If you look at the back-left of this thing, you can see some guides, as if it’s meant to ride on a track. This actually looks like it would be a fun little ride if they only got some sturdier chairs for it (and a real gas tank)!


Homemade Electric Motorcycle

One man had a dream… to get stranded in the middle of nowhere because his homemade motorcycle doesn’t use gas. Okay, I’m just kidding. but the reality is that this motorcycle only has a 15 mile range. For most people, that isn’t enough to get them to work. The good thing is that recharging this cycle is so inexpensive that it’s like getting 300 miles per gallon. Unfortunately, this vehicle only goes 40 MPH. Well, if you’re going to make your own vehicle, I guess you have to accept your own engineering limitations.
