Bob Maddox’s custom made jet powered bike does 0-60mph in 5 seconds
After many jaw dropping creations in the past, Bob Maddox is at it again to show how big jet bike fanatic he is. The self proclaimed “Rocketman” has built this jet bike for a racer in the Illinois, and tested this thunder bike five times before finally handing it over to the racer. With a smooth and stable handling, the bike does 0-60mph in five seconds. The bike belongs to Maddox as a whole and apart from its the tires, rims and brakes, Maddox fabricated the entire bike in his garage.
The jet bike is equipped with a single pulse jet engine with two tailpipes. It puts out 250 pounds of thrust and runs on regular 87 octane gasoline. But these engines are too loud and can blow of your ear drums if you aren’t careful. Well, the bike is made for the owner who wants to break 200mph and if that happens, we’ll be back with the updates. So, stay tuned.
