Haha that thing is so awesome, X2 on the video. How did you think that up? Bored on a rainy day?


EDIT: Be careful with it, don't want to see a great idea go bad

well its a co-effort between my buddy and we have allways been intersted in this type stuff we have allways hooked our bikes up to scooters and towed eachother down the road a couple of summers ago we built a trailer for our bikes but then one day we saw a motor powered bike on youtube but we were gonna use a weed whip motor but then my buddys grandma had an old snowblower she didnt want so we upgraded hehehehe

yeah it will be somewhat safe i guess were gonna cover up most of the moving parts
