Motorcycles accelerate faster than bullets
French engineer François Gissy has a rather interesting hobby. He builds motorcycles that can go rocket speeds. His latest creation is a rocket trike, which consists of a tank of compressed air and rainwater. It is essentially a rocket on wheels, but there are serious consequences if it goes wrong. Gissy tested the bike at 260 km/h at the Circuit Paul Ricard. Even more impressive are the acceleration figures. The trike can reach 100 km/h from a standstill in half a second.
