Sports car maker Caterham have announced that they will be
producing motorcycles from next year. The company is best know for building the
Super Seven since the early '70's when they bought the rights from
Lotus.
There are two electric bikes, one futuristic and one 20's
retro, but the surprise is the Brutus. It has a 750cc single cylinder engine
with variable belt transmission (like a scooter). The Brutus has huge balloon
off-road tyres giving the look of a cross between a Rokon & a Suzuki Van Van on steroids. Also the bike can be converted into a snowmobile!

Looks like the Dinli DL282 engine: http://youcanttouronasingle.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/friday-bike.html Don't know what it would be like at speed with those tyres!
ReplyDeleteWell spotted! I was wondering where the engine came from.
