Wheel crate drive - Austrian Times


Wheel crate driver

A barmy biker has been banned by police after converting a beer crate into a mini quad bike.

The micro machine was given its last orders after Matthias Krankl tried to outrun cops in Maulburg, Germany.

"It has a tiny one cylinder engine but somehow he managed to break the speed limit," said one officer.

"It wasn't legal so we had to confiscate it but it looked like a lot of fun and would certainly make drink driving more risky," they added.
This looks like a blast! It reminds me of many types of go carts and other strap-on-an-engine-and-make-it-move projects.

Interesting. I've seen ones made from bar stools that might be more comfortable for an escape from the police haha
