I like just about everything about that machine (cant imagine its OSHO approved though) I was really hoping he would hop on it & give it a go.

Impressive looking beastie that .... but I'm guessing the efficiency and range are less than might be hoped, and it probably isn't really as powerful as it looks, though I'd love the chance to find out for myself. Perhaps the main drawback in my mind is having the drive chain running in such close proximity to the inside of my left leg, as I can easily see bad things happening in that vicinity.

Think I like this set-up better, in most all categories of range, efficiency and practicality .... except of course in brute Harleyistic apparence!



But then perhaps the Steam Hog really is a far more capable machine than I'm giving it credit for here, it just "seems" to me, less likely to be ... all that!

I believe that the uploads on YouTube might be "lifted" from the makers FaceBook, since they get taken down.


Here´s a current working version:

Hunting for a working link to the thread-starter movie, i just spotted this one, which i do believe we might have seen before?
Think it performs and sounds so well when fully opened, that it can handle a re-run in here  :)

Now that last one definitely shows some real performance, accelerating well up a fair hill there at the end.
