Watch This Water Powered Tricycle Go From 0 to 60 MPH In Half A Second

I am sure all of us remember the terror and thrill from the time when we used to roll down a giant hill on our tricycles. Well, our guy François Gissy has just done something similar with his tricycle built from a go-kart and motorcycle parts, and is only for the adrenaline junkies.

Releasing the valve holding back almost 35 gallons of pressurized rainwater filled inside a carbon-wrapped tank, he made the bike to accelerate to 62 miles per hour in almost half of a second. By the time the tank got empty, the speed of his DIY-adult-sized tricycle was already reaching 162.2 miles per hour. Seems like the guy wanted to beat Khaleesi’s dragons without spending much on the fuel.

Check out his thrilling experiment in the video below.
