Bikes are out kicking people and making hearts skip several beats with their beasty avatar.

The assets, they come loaded with, are worth flaunting. Phil Pauley is out with a superbike named the Bullet, which is bound to give you goosebumps. The brawny bike has been crafted in a way that lends it all the mean features. Combining these looks with sumptuousness makes it all the more killing. Once seated on the Bullet it will feel as if you have grown wings. The speed it touches will make you talk with wind and give you an adrenaline rush. The superbike comes fixed with four wings and a tail fin at the rear. The back has also been wedged with a jet engine, which makes it snarl like a monster. Extended wings give it necessary thrust and literally lift the bike up in the air.

Easy maneuverability, even at high acceleration, will make speed lovers go crazy. The Bullet can cross a mark of 300 mph in terms of speediness. Wow! This sounds a bit dizzy.

The façade looks like a mini silver-colored airplane ready to take the roads with surprise. If you want to look cool and make people burn with jealousy, then kick start the curvy Bullet and zoom with the rider in you. The motorbike is ready to thunder with all its worth and leave an everlasting impression

Moon Rider

Posted on January 30, 2012 by melwin23

The idea of a flying motorcycle just seem to be becoming a feeding basket for the designers, after the Magnet Quad flying motorcycle, comes this zero-emission electric motorcycle that uses a jet-engine to fly itself. Dubbed the MoonRider, this two-wheel hybrid bike by Marko Design, uses electronic motors for balance and wheel movement on roads. The bike’s electric batteries get power by solar panels embedded in the vehicle’s front. Besides this, the bike made in composite materials gathers power for flying from a powerful plasma jet engine, which the designers vision as a replacement for the present day turbo jet engines. Follow the jump for a few more images of the concept bike.

JET ENGINE POWERED SCOOTER

Posted on January 29, 2012 by melwin23

It seems that we humans have a strange fascination with strapping immensely powerful jet engines onto objects that were clearly never made for such propulsion, but that doesn’t stop the engineering (and a bit off kilter) minds of the world from giving it a go anyway. We’ve seen jet-powered wheelchairs and even supermarket carts, but the current king of overkill in regards to horsepower is none other than Ron Patrick — his rocket-infused Volkswagen Beetle, though deemed “completely street legal” by Ron, sports an extra 1,350 horses thanks to the massive blaster he attached to his ride. Obviously this little endeavor went over so well that he figured strapping dual JFS 100 jet engines onto his wife’s Honda Metropolitan scooter would solve her complaints of it “only going 40 miles per hour.” Since Ron estimates that one engine alone could get her ride over 60 mph, it’s fairly safe to say she should be outrunning commuters (and police, or anybody else for that matter) in no time. Patrick’s biggest challenge is compensating for the weight of the actual engines, because at 50 pounds apiece, they put a serious strain on the suspension. He plans to install an “air-start” that utilizes a “carbon fiber tank of compressed air” in order to remove the batteries currently on the vehicle. Regardless of Ron’s sanity (or lack thereof), we can’t argue with his determination, and if you happen to see a scooter in California with a curious looking device on each side (click through to see what we mean), don’t even think of revving your puny engine at Mrs. Patrick.
