I thought the volume of the turbine was inconsistent when the bike pulled away.

The same as slipping the clutch on a bike, it still uses a chain drive, the turbine is used to power a shaft to turn it, it's not being propelled by the jet engine directly. Thumbs Up

With that much torque, the gearing can be rediculously high. Thus the need for only 2 gears.

Imagine if it had a full 6 speed box. Top speed of 300mph+ ?

The win blast would rip you off Laughing
