Honda Scooter With Two Jet Engines

Here's a photo of a Honda Metropolitan Scooter with two jet engines. The engines are not yet mounted to the scooter, but that's the project of Ron Patrick.

Ron is better known for mounting a jet engine to his Volkswagen Beetle. Check out his website.

He says his wife would like to add more horsepower to her scooter, and he just happened to have a couple of JFS 100 jet engines handy. (Isn't it cool to have jet engines handy?)

His idea is to mount an engine to each side, and then cover the engines with aluminum housings, to look like real jet airplane engines. The two engines will add about 200 pounds of weight to the scooter, but the added power should more than make up for the weight.

Imagine telling your friends that the biggest problem you have with riding a scooter is getting birds sucked into your motor.
