“the car is damaged - assemble the motorcycle” - this is how a real engineer solves the problem
Enough food and water for 12 days. Only 8 hours from the nearest village. Let's build a motorbike from my car. Legends are made of these things.
It's just undriviable! This video did not prove it could be driven. I believe it cannot. The story is a lie.

@@powderslinger5968 It's true story!

Not a legend, an internet hoax.

So...after saving his own life by driving it out of the Moroccan desert he was fined by police because the registration didn't match..How typical...lol
“we know you could’ve died out there and no one would’ve noticed your gone, but we have our rules for a reason…”
I have been looking at the photo I saved after finding it online years ago. So today I decided to dig into the whole story to prove to my friends here at work that the story seems to be true. After finding the video above…. I was so happy to see the genius who built it! Its an incredible story. It made my day!
Thanks for buying it for the museum for all to see and marvel at. An amazing creator!
This finally answers my question as to how power was transferred. If you're not familiar with the 2CV, it's hard to see, though they show it.
The 2CV engine has INBOARD brake -drums-. This is vital for his plan to work. I must explain this.
Most cars: the brake drum is right behind the wheel/tire. There's a driveshaft of some sort that goes from the brake drum (which spins as you move) to the transmission. So the brake drum moves up and down with the wheel.
On a 2CV: the brake drum is mounted directly to the spinning part at the transmission, THEN there's the driveshaft, then there's the wheel.
So our man here ripped off the driveshafts and wheels on both sides, leaving just the spinning brake drums by themselves on the transaxle.
He lifted the engine off the front of the frame and moved it back and over just a bit until the spinning brake drum RUBS ON THE TIRE, transferring the motion.
The problem with this, his narrator pointed out, is that it now runs backwards. So he had to drive out the entire way with the transmission in REVERSE.
For the mechanically inclined: the transaxle is also a differential. So if he did ONLY this, the unladen brake drum would spin freely. He made a holder for the unladen brake drum to keep it in place and drive only the side rubbing on the tire.
Thank you sir for your brief explanation
What an amazing story. Nice to see things like this along side all the other beautiful cars as it is an amazing piece of engineering.
Now that's how you build a rat bike.
Is there a video of him riding it?
I helped restore an old 2CV in the past.... Curiously light..... I remember the double clutch and taking all of about 20 minutes for my boss and I to lift the motor out, lol. (once the body panels removed) We finished ours in white pearl.
But that scrawny guy lifted all by himself. You believe it
Such an amazing story and feat of engineering, neccesity truly is the mother of invention.
Internet hoax and ¥0v® $+vp¡d¡+¥.
He never rides it in any video.
Lol bro thats crazy !! Congrats
Nice story, but I would like to see the bike actually moving.
I was really surprised when Jamie and Adam from Mythbusters wasn't able to duplicate this effort.
Apparently you have to be an electrician.
They did replicate it perfectly. It's just undriviable! This video did not prove it could be driven. I believe it cannot. The story is a lie.
@@powderslinger5968 I'm not so sure, this one looks far superior to the one they built. It would no doubt be incredibly difficult to drive and slow however. This guy has full throttle control, in mythbusters they really didn't so they would be completely at the mercy of the machine, they had very little control. I imagine this version is far better balanced too. I don't know, it could be BS, but I'd love to think this worked. I don't think it's impossible. Then again, I'm very skeptical because we've not actually seen this guy drive it, which REALLY makes me question it. I don't know why he hasn't shown himself riding it if he's so confident...
@@HoodlumMedia they not even have throttle control of the engine. they just bending the wire to get it rpm. but this guys has it on his hand every single time.
@@powderslinger5968 Theirs had many differences that are immediately obvious, including the one that Emile pointed out about the steering.
Amazing he had time for some nice pictures in this desperate situation...
Why not?
Because it's fake.
They should make a movie of this.
This has been debated for over two decades. It's still not established whether or not this event ever happened - at least in the way described by Leray. There are a lot of inconsistencies, and his version of events has changed over time as details have been challenged. Makes for a good story though, for sure.
John Jones the. How did he get the bike back to civilization? And if it didn’t work why go back for it at all?
It's just undriviable! This video did not prove it could be driven. I believe it cannot. The story is a lie.
@@powderslinger5968 Will you spam this comment more?
@@powderslinger5968just because you don't believe it, doesn't mean it's a lie.
How are the wheels driven ?
ride on ride on
Ja,ja,ja.C'est comme voir la moitié de mon mehari
Essai d'imagination magnifique
I think its a lie he never actually drives it on any video
To be fair he might just not want to take the chance of getting hurt doing so. He has the bike and the photos after all.
Un Génie !
J'aimerais la voir rouler.
Ce serait une preuve de plus.
Question : Comment il transmet la puissance a la roue ? On ne voit rien
I don't believe it is drivable
It a horizontally opposed twin not a v twin.
Movie namr??
Ça c'est passé chez moi ou Maroc
C’est mon héros ❤🇫🇷
so did he carry tools and torches or welder by chance to cut frame, i mean i know it wasnt his intention, but how did he chop the car up!? edit: i guess i ask my question too early i say the end of video.... so neat
So what does he register it as now?
Scrap steel
general french engineering
I hear he was a consultant for "Fury Road".....
Bravo messieurs
Who took the photo?
Good question! Emile's camera had a pull wire on it; in a few of the pictures you can actually see some of the pull wire showing. We also have the camera he used on display in our collection!
The engine may start but it does not drive
A 2 days walk, maybe less, from the nearest town and he spends 12 days building a motorcycle. Doesn't add up.
A RatBike!!! Born to be wild!!!
Star wars un poroto
Respect a cet homme!!!qui a transformé cette voiture en moto!!Mais quelle chance il a eu!!d'êtres la bas!! *Car en France (*du moins ce qu'il en reste!!!) Le simple fait de penser a une telle réalisation!!L'aurait mené au goulag!!
quoi?
----"Great Scott...The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?...""🤣🤣🤣
this fake story makes me pretty mad. this is geared to those who never actually hold tools in their hands. could you make a rideable motorcycle out of this vehicle ? i could believe that is possible. could you do it in the desert with basic hand tools ? not a chance.
This guy doesn't like walking anymore than i do. So mythbusters couldn't do it. boohooyah.
The guy faked it all.
I agree he just happened to have the tools to cut and alter the chassis and axle's, but not to fix the car all the part's supposedly came from, absolute bull s***t and he still looks dodgy when asked a question. LIAR
Le traducteur est nul 🤦
whole story is fake
