I was talking to a guy at the RTA who pointed out that a petrol engine not directly connected to the driving wheel doesnty have meet pollution laws. So a bike engine connected to a generator driving electric motors would be legal. No batteries just live generation to the motors - no gearbox. I estimate the loss at the wheel would be 25 percent greater than a petrol/gearbox comono. Anyone want to build one. |

There's no need. You can register a bike powered car in NSW. |

Absurdly, that would probably be illegal on the road here for the crashworthiness rather than the fact that someone crammed a jet engine into a New Beetle

and instead of throwing all the rubbish out the window, just feed it into the high temp incinerator. one of those would be good set-up in a hearse. cremation on the way to the funeral  saves time
