Stopping distance from 40mph with V-brakes?

Awesomnez 😆
Stopping distance from 40mph with V-brakes?
better than my stopping distance from 40mph with calipers on the road bike (downhill obviously)
I think its great that someone has built it but I wouldn't want to pay 400 quid for it.
I suppose it would need a number plate, tax and an MOT?
an 80hp engine
Nah 80cc, from the looks of it, it'll be lucky to make 2hp. Even so, possibly the daftest thing I've seen on fleabay this year.
What exactly is that front mudguard supposed to do?
Besides all the stuff questioned above.
[i]What exactly is that front mudguard supposed to do?[/i]
Same principle as stretching an inner tube across the top of the forks.
I looks like it might work, especially at 40mph in the wet!
S'not gonna do them much good when the mud chucked up by the front tyre coats the engine though is it?
Anyone remember the dire need the original mini had for a splashguard to keep the sparks dry?

Good point.
This reminds me of the Derny's you ride behind on the track. They can go pretty fast, although the frames tend to be beefier.
