Rocket-powered bicycle - Speed - BBC

[k072491b]

Wouldn't it get better airflow and therefor better speed/power ratios if it wasn't crammed behind his arse?

[guwapo90]

70mph on 2 wheels with 2 inches of tire width Lol

[guwapo90]

Thats Jet not Rocket

[weeks87]

1:58 that's what she said

[fairyheli2]

pulsejet anyone?

[vetrix]

what ep is this?

[gargantuate]

1:39 old man thinking "where do i buy one of those!"

[0932486509]

Jeremy makes my day. The little kid in me call him my hero because he doesn't care who he pisses off by being quite realistic in an absurd way. :)

[TheChiliLime]

I like how he dings in the bell, to pay attention to him xD

[MrTakaMOSHi]

@phantomloita

I was going off of the description...

nonetheless, still funny to hear on anything so outrageous

[irinisva]

Pleeeese help me!!!! I can't stop laughing here!! :)

[JJAstley]

what happen if he farts? will the methane boosts the jet? XD

[rk01master1]

I WANNNNNAAA MAKKKKEE THATTT !

[TheErmerm999]

where the hell did they get that jet engine

[MrTakaMOSHi]

"MODERATION! THAT'S THE KEY!" Yeah, on a rocket powered bike....

[phantomloita]

@MrTakaMOSHi turbine. two different things.

[FrozenFlame333]

that engine sounds amazing.

[Dreamguitar01]

Gas or jet fuel? If the gas, premium or regular...?

[deadpie1234]

1:37

He's jealous.

[JDMKID05]

2 turbines enginess moreee POWERRR!!!

[ihaveaweirdnameinc]

what happens if you fart

[JDMKID05]

Respond to this video...  Adds another 50hp which will give u a boost of 10mph :D

[Teeebs]

@ihaveaweirdnameinc ....fart, you say?  I think we've just discovered the after-burner.....lol

[miroku2303]

You have to build it

[11PETE23]

where can i buy one of these jets i need one for a gokart and atm all i seem to be finding are pulsejets and videos of massive accidents involving pulsejets

[RSPyro]

Coolest moped ever

[AAAZ2A]

@RSPyro This would be classified as a "Light Motorcycle, LMC" In Sweden, since it have 100cc.. 50cc is max for a moped in Sweden

[FredrikEastling]

@AAAZ2A Svarar på din kommentar här efter att du kallat mig dum i huvudet på en video där jag sa att scooters och mopeder är samma sak i Sverige. Man begränsar inte mopeder efter kubiken, utan efter effekten. (max 4 kW)

Du kan få igenom en 70cc på besiktning om den kommer så från fabriken och är nedstrypt till 4kw. Sen chansen att det skulle hända är ju yttterst små.

[AAAZ2A]

@FredrikEastling Hm, maybe you should speak English on a non Swedish video. Then what I meant in the other video was that a scooter, or "Moped" in your case is a plastic body with a engine, while a real Moped is a... thing that is not full of plastic. And that you can ride without looking like a total fag. No offence.

However on this vid: Så beror det på vilken moped klass du pratar om "Klass I" eller "Klass II"

[FredrikEastling]

@AAAZ2A Sure, I'll speak English. You can't really "define" a moped like that. I know what you're getting at, but... No. Not in Sweden. A moped will and has always been a way to define a vespa/scooter. And about the Light Weight MC. I'm obviously talking about the Class 1 bikes. I'm pretty sure they don't even allow for Class 2 bikes to be registered anymore. Whatever dude, You know what I meant on the other clip as well. And for anyone who cares: Translate my previous comment if you really care

[Arthurk346]

when i was a 6 year boy i was riding on my bicycle every day and this rocket was my dream!=))

[Andreaslillfreakact]

Idiots, that is not a rocket engine, but a jet engine

[Kom3tBrawl]

I actually love this. I would buy it.

[Polybun]

not a rocket, this is a turbine.

[Vebinz]

@Polybun

With the air intake and compression and exhaust, it seems more jet than rocket, certainly.

[Polybun]

@Vebinz If it were a rocket, it wouldn't have an air intake you fucking dolt. Rockets do not pull their oxidizer from the atmosphere.

[TheSiban]

can someone sen me a link for this engine

[therockchannel100]

if you fart you have the turbo and you will go at 90 mph

[Isuru1995]

I love his last line

[NotRite225]

Whats that in us.......

[TheCheese909]

He looks so young! lol

[fairyheli2]

i made a motor bicycle using a strimmer engine

[miahk2]

Why is it £1700 when it's home-made???

[Magenta4sZ]

old cycling man: "What the Fuck???"

[sabinbp]

where or how did you get the jet engine?

[Sietse62]

Gimmegimme! :O

[wawabug]

want

[GundamFreedomz]

Jeremy Clarkson for President!

[TheActiveAssault]

@GundamFreedomz

If one 2 minute video of an old dude on a bike has compelled you to throw his name in the running for president you are what's wrong with this world.

Whether you be sarcastic or not.

[KindaNoobish]

1:37 jealous.

[T2010CHC]

fuck sake....all these ads

[airdude12345]

Still gotta do a CBT

[1AGS333]

hahahahah XDDDDDDDD

[IL0NGHORNS]

Where can buy one of these? serious question, does anyone know

[Domowoi2]

@IL0NGHORNS Well most stores where you can get other RC-Stuff.

[IL0NGHORNS]

@Domowoi2 will they have stuff to control the speed and a fuel canister

[Domowoi2]

@IL0NGHORNS Depends on the shop. Maybe you want to check out a big store they will have it. But it will be expensive.

[CarNewsWeekly]

but they wouldnt be able to her you leaving because youd be deaf

[dtihkse]

good thing it didn't suck his buttocks

[bript]

I would like to buy the exact same jet...

Can anybody tell me where ?

Peace

[omerback007]

Thats it where's my rocket launcher i wanna test this shit

[gansterman1599]

I really like but want to know where to buy

They sell in websites

Plz reply

[kahlzun]

jet... not rocket!

[CoD6HModthedeisel]

You can make that for $100... And you can use more Ethane rich fuel/kerosene.

[AFluffySheltie]

just one problem with this, JET FUEL IS EXPENSIVE SHIT!!!! AND THIS ISN'T EXACTLY FUEL-FRIENDLY EITHER!!! BUT STILL IS KICKASSS BIKE!!!

[freakinxombie]

How to make it?

[beastological]

i think the ppl who disliked turned it to full throttle

[TheActiveAssault]

@beastological

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I see what you did there because he said that in the video! And then you repeated it like a parrot, then a bunch of other parrots agreed because you posted it before they did!

[beastological]

@TheActiveAssault umad?

[TheActiveAssault]

@beastological

I'm furious.

[beastological]

@TheActiveAssault ;)

troll wink, just for you

[npage009]

Where can I buy this?

[kordean89]

Old people are too cute.

[textiles1]

whats the mpg on that?

[MrROTD]

That's not a rocket, it's a jet turbine.

[neilcyrus1]

@MrROTD yes it is

[neilcyrus1]

 yes it is

[Dethphunk]

@soureysen That's what I was thinking. Standard bicycle brakes are useless at that speed and motorcycle disc brakes would be almost as useless when you have a rocket constantly thrusting you forward.

[MrROTD]

@Dethphunk My bike brakes aren't useless but then again they are hydraulic disc brakes so.......

[100turbodog]

Remember when you go to your youtube page and there wasn't an advertisement at the top of the page?

Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO

Remember when there wasn't advertisements that never go away?

Remember you couldn't have a limit to favorites?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

Remember when we could rate stars not like?

WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

Post this in every video and lets start a youtube riot

Thumbs this Up

[infringementMAN]

@100turbodog I remember every single "anti-changes in a famous website" campaign that never worked.

[Dethphunk]

How does one brake in a jet powered speeding bike?

[TopGearDog431]

whats the bet he tried to max it.

[TheWeblocker]

what black magic is this?

[MrCookieSeller]

"i never heard you coming!" lmao!

[musclecarrullz]

that was fucking awesome=)))

[motoguide]

but how long will the gas cylinder last ! it will need to be replaced every km !

[motoguide]

but how long will the gas cylinder last ! it will need to be replaced very km !

[130starfish]

I think TWIN engines are in order.... and some sort of afterburner.. Cmon Jeremy, use a little of that craft majic that you do so well...

[derek56ace]

How is this a rocket? isn't this a jet?

[2c1c]

what episode is this?

[BuRushood]

@2c1c This is not from Top gear. It a show called speed. and if you were asking from what episode of Speed this came from, it's episode 5.

[itchyeye85]

I just built a 49cc bicycle.what was I thinking when I couldve just jet powered it

[djangoboaz]

Where can you buy it?

[Merto6]

What amount of fuel per 100km?

[dnajohnny]

3,059 people through there will be fire come out from the rocket

[soowasu37]

It is a Jet engine, not Rocket.

[god0fgod]

@soowasu37 Yes, it's a jet engine.

[salm2301]

the only thing i am worried about it if it gets lose it will just shoot up in the persons ass lol but lol love the idea want this bike lol hahah we can enter in a bicycle race lol and no licence needed coz its smaller or equal to 100 cc ahahah

[USGiorgi]

That compressor is spinning @ 100,000 rpm.....3 inches from his ass.... Anyone else see the problem? haha

[0pt1muzPr1m3]

@USGiorgi pretty badass ass

[acronus]

@USGiorgi

If the compressor wheel goes, hopefully all the flak and shrapnel will go out the back. On the other hand, installing some metal shielding is probably a good idea.

[legendensuger]

no i dont want to buy a kia

[Fulkeir]

from which episode is this one?

[TuberBA]

I concur with other geeks. It's a small turbo-jet engine. Technically, it's not a rocket at all. But, if the model itself or the company which produced it is named "Rocket" then I guess you could call it that. :)

[UjlakiLaci]

This is not a rocket, this is a small turbine engine.

[Vault101Reject]

I would not want that thing THAT close to my arse. 

[LMF5000]

That's not a rocket, that's a model turbojet engine. Sheesh.

[Vault101Reject]

@LMF5000 Yeah but it's just a fun term.

And not to be a total dick, this isn't a dull science show with some 80 year old man standing in front of a blackboard, smacking us across the shoulders with a stick every time we don't get the terminology slightly wrong.

I'm not calling science dull, by the way, just a lot of the TV shows about it are.

[LMF5000]

@Vault101Reject I know, I know. I love top gear - I've watched all the seasons, and I usually post comments like yours every time someone criticises how it's not a serious show. I tell them to go watch 5th gear if they want serious car reviews, and top gear if they want to laugh. But this is different. The title is flat out wrong. They should have said "jet powered bicycle" instead of rocket. There's a world of difference between the two. A rocket powered bike wouldn't have throttle control

[death4hiro]

Remember to fart now and then... Little fire on your ass. Beautiful

[aquariyums]

That's pretty kick-ass!

[colombianoextremoful]

at least they could mount it on a mountain or a rece bike not that crappy old bike.

[theylied1776]

Wait, Jeremy can ride a bike?

[aquariyums]

@theylied1776 Yeah, he doesn't hate bikes as much as he says on Top Gear...

[darthmarth28]

That jet engine looked really simple in the video, how hard could it really be to make one yourself?

electric controls on handlebars aren't too difficult

fuel canister below the seat is sort of tricky (what's in it?)

/Freshman MechE

[LMF5000]

@darthmarth28 Model jet engines run on kerosene. The complicated bits are the electronics (officially known as FADEC - Full Authority Digital Engine Control) that control the engine and counteract its natural tendency to self-destruct :)

[MegaCHARGER1969]

something nice for the dutch...

[bigtruckseriesreview]

It's actually a JET Powered bike.

[dog009988]

though how would it go if i put those in a car O.O

[komobabo]

I'm going to put this...*looks around* MY BIKE. *akward silence* OK!

[sunnyboy9711]

i shuld so put it in a rc plane :D

[darkInferno360]

fkin awesome yo'

[calvooo]

what episode is this from?

[konkvistador75]

"hou" instead of spelling hat (hot). "roit" instead of rait (right).

WTF is wrong with the new UK English ?

Btw epic invention lol :D

[stiantiger]

It's a jet,not a rocket Jeremy!!!

[RtdXyron]

@stiantiger I'm pretty sure he didn't name the video...

[redbeast2]

@stiantiger Trying to tell somebody who doesn't realize that an Imperial Gallon is not the same as a US Liquid Gallon about the differences between a jet engine and a rocket is not going to be fruitful.

[QuietStormSiR]

I want one !! where can I get one of those rocket kits ?

[ttobyg]

in before Al Qaeda

[piraat6666]

I want one.

[ispiritikick]

if you fart, it'll add nitro to your bike

[japuciss5]

@ispiritikick Srry it's tested the answer is NO i tried like 4000 times :)

[ispiritikick]

@japuciss5 oh i see, no more baked beans for july

[tidragos]

Damn, I want one of those :X

[Usernamejanjacob39]

zzz.. later my ass get suck up bye the jet engine..damn!!!

[ZeroSixNinetyFour]

Add 10 engines and a pair of wings.

[ZeroSixNinetyFour]

I was expecting those rockets which Coyote uses in order to chase Roadrunner.

[ZeroSixNinetyFour]

Im planning on buying 10 of those and attach it to my couch.

[imcriticizer]

@ZeroSixNinetyFour very imagintive

[PioloAskal2009]

i thoguht in the thumbnail, he would go in light speed.

[GluttonForSex]

46 Mexicans boycotted this video.

[Domashel]

It is not a rocket, it is a jet

[mGregory96]

[TheMerraj]

[brin3535]

Where was the fuel coming from?

[Scats64]

@brin3535 That bottle below the seat.

[brin3535]

@Scats64 That's what I was thinking as well. He certainly didn't go very far, did he? LOL

[llOzzyHast]

1:37 that guy is like: "f*ck i need to buy a new bike"

[SuperGuyOnFire]

@llOzzyHast  you mean 1:36

[xXeeDeeXx]

[spilot14]

'And the great things its safe, I mean its not like other motorist could turn around and say "they never heard you coming.'

God, the way he says it is just hilarious. Made me lol.

[fanicia42]

actually i always wanted to do something like this.... sadly my boring parents disapproved -.-'

[bibblles]

where do you get one of these engines?

[PokeDow]

Hmm.. it's 00:01 right here and i thought "I want some thumbs up!" so I clicked on some featured video on my youtube page. I started to write some random shit. And I hope that someone will find this lame enough to click thumb up for the sake of Ollie Williams. Thank you and help me see which video will get me most approvals.

[hqkill]

wow! this was cooler then i inspected!!!

does it work for ever?!!?!? no batterys!?!? no oil!?!?!? no diesel

[FrancekPirosrancek]

the joke at the end made me lol

[stefke72yamaha]
