  • There is a manual water pump on top the bike, with a water tank under the aluminum cover. Another pump located on the low left side of the bike can automatically add water to the boiler as the bike travels.

  • The boiler inside the wooden box operates at approximately 100 lbs. of steam pressure. Charcoal is burned in the fire box. The engine produces an estimated 2 horsepower.

  • The steam bike has not been tested to find out exactly how long it would run on charcoal and water.

  • The steam bike will probably go 40 mph or so. It has a water tank in it, but you have to shovel the charcoal. The Hudspeth steam bike has an automatic liquid feed burner.
