Ski-Doo Elan Engine in a Motorcycle

The modern-day inventor strikes again!

One industrious individual built himself a motorcycle that is powered by a snowmobile engine taken from an old Ski-Doo Elan. According to the builder, the engine is a Sachs 293 and the bike has a top speed of more than 100 km/h (about 60 mph).

The left side of the bike shows the engine in action. One warning to the rider: there are some fast-moving parts (belt, fan) very close to your leg. Getting your pants caught in there could cause quite a problem.

Check out a video of the bike in action below the jump. The entire project is pretty cool. The seat looks like it was taken off an old tractor and the frame looks like it was modified from a bicycle. Long live the garage inventor!
