The Rocket Bike

January 6th, 2006 by Tim Grahl

Popular Science:

How It Works:
1. A toggle switch on the battery pack arms the ignition system.
2. The left-thumb button sends power from the battery pack to an igniter on a model-rocket motor inside the rocket engine, vaporizing the roofing-tar fuel so it can burn.
3. The right-thumb button keeps the nitrous oxide flowing (and the rocket lit) as long as it’s pushed.
4. The left brake lever regulates the flow of nitrous and throttles the rocket.
