250 mpg? really? i must be doing something wrong. my 40cc gets a wee bit over HALF of that (i calculated around 135 mpg average). You must be pedaling alot to get that kind of mileage! am i right?

Are the engine & mounting kits available still and the info "how to" etc? This seems like a kick to have one.

If that does 250mpg with a 2 stroke and a single speed fixed gear ratio (meaning a bit of energy wasted engine braking), I can't wait to see what a 4 stroke with all the gears used by the pedals would do (at equivalent speed)
