If you’ve got around $3000 to spare and never want to peddle a bike again, you could always go for the “jet-powered” upgrade as seen in this clip.
This home-made bike can go up to 70mph- though the creator warns us that it might not be very safe to do.
Of all the cool gadgets shown in BBC’s show Speed, this has to be one of the most useless ones I’ve seen. Even if I had enough money to attack a rocket-type device to my bike, I couldn’t bring myself to wearing that ridiculous suit and helmet.
As cool as the concept seems, it just isn’t practical. And don’t even get me started on the annoying plane engine sound.
