Because it's a scale model the engine looks old in style and so doesn't stand out. The engine revs to about 7000rpm and so the bike really does go considering the cc is still 100cc. Bo explained that it currently takes off at 7mph and so he is making a larger rear sprocket to gear it down to a more sensible 4mph starting speed. He also hopes to get it road registered so he can see what it can really do!''

Long story short, AeroPeu is an 1930 Peugeot P50T oval boardtrack racer. The engine is a modern scale version of WW1 period Gnome&Rhone overhead valve 9 cylinder radial aircraft engine. Methanol premix fuel. Glowplug ignition. 100 cc, 7hp 7000rpm

if u like these kinds of motors then a bucket list item is the wright-patterson afb museum near dayton, oh... i spent a whole day just looking at the engines... the stuff that they came up with to get another mph out of planes is just incredible (old fighter pilot saw is that faster beats gooder just about every time)...
