i was wondering what they were doing too. I expect they wanna save weight, so they remove the need for a battery and ignition apparatus, and turn over the pistons by spinning the rear wheel with that gadet the one lad was wheeling around.

Innovative. For F1 cars I think there's a smiliar mechanism, but instead they start it by spinning the crankshaft at the back of the car.
