Another use for your Chainsaw

[Ianab]

Feel lucky enough to strap your feet into this contraption  ?

4 wheel drive and an 85 cc Husky powerhead should make for a pretty exciting ride.

Umm.. after you  ;)




Cheers

Ian, make sure you wear that helmet and maybe kevlar gloves, chaps and three or four coats.
Hey look it's the Michilen Man on a skateboard!

[rebocardo]

First I thought the boots were seats! That is crazy  :D

[scsmith42]

Man, somebody's got a death wish if they floor the throttle in that contraption!

[Jeff]

I know a couple three people I'd like ta strap to it. :D

I mean thats quite a rig. ;D

[SwampDonkey]

Ian, redesign'r for a go-cart. Hopefully, it will have enough pull. Wear the ear plugs. ;D

[logwalker]

Hey Ian, What is the name of that unit. I want to get one before I am to old to ride. Way Cool. LW

[Modat22]

I like that myself, would love to try it out.

[Husband]

Have you been talking to Jake... :D :D :D :D

[Ianab]

Haha.. yeah Jake would try it eh  :D

I did find the company that makes them tho.

I'm not sure I'd want my feet strapped into those boots! I'd want something with a quick release. Maybe some ski bindings or something like that.  Once, many years ago,  when I was visiting Door County, Wisconsin,  I saw a many on a skateboard that had a chainsaw engine on the back, a 'T' pipe on the front for handle bars. He was just cruising around the town. I thought that was a neat way to run downtown and home. I think someone is marketing motorized scooters now. They would be fun to have but that contraption you are picturing looks dangerous.

[SwampDonkey]

I see a local kid on a motor scooter drive by here once in awhile. Seems like a nice toy. ;)

[Ianab]

yup.. we got the normal motorised skateboards and scooters, usually have a nice sensible little 30cc weedwacker engine on them.. they do look like fun.

Thats things 85cc, and 4 wheel drive, it does have disc brakes at least  :D

Ian

[Modat22]

WOW, I'd love to try one but not at $5000.00 

[sawguy21]

I had better not show that to my 14 year old buddy. Fear is not in his vocabulary.

[Blake22]

I had to look didn't I. Maybe I won't remember this Monday. That is cool, for sure.

[Saki]

Being big, slow and clumsy, that looks like a spectator sport from this angle, although the unit sure looks cool, I can't picture me on it without the phrase " 2 cycle death " coming to mind.hahaha

[Timburr]

Guys. It's got a throttle AND a brake. It'll go as fast OR slow as you wannit to go!!!

[PineNut]

That throttle and brake sound good.  Throttle closed and brake full on. Then maybe I could stay on it.

[Left Coast Chris]

The son of some friends we have known for years bought one of the crotch rocket super bikes (motor cycles).    The son admitted that he had it up to 130mph and said that it did not feel very fast and the bike had allot of throtle left.  This over powered skate board is in the same bracket.     There is a good name for the people that love these things............ ORGAN DONER.

[amberwood]

other wise known as DONOR-CYCLES

DTR

[sawguy21]

A buck thirty did not feel fast ??? I sure don't want to go there, especially on two wheels.
The rev limiter on a lot of the new bikes cuts in around 185. Prolly a lame attempt to reduce manufacturers liability :D

[Modat22]

Bah, you need that power for off roading. How are you going to jump a house if you can't get escape velocity??

[Gustavo]

 
had you patent it  .. sell it for my mother in law ;D

good comentary  mike bacaskey ;D

realy is a very creative idea  who do yo control the speed??
and the out run of the engine?

[UNCLEBUCK]

That is awesome Ian  8)  Lets see you riding it ! Show us your stuff buddy ol' pal ! 8)
