OPEL RAKETEN MOTORRAD 1928

[malc]

"With a strong 22 hp OHV (Overhead Valve) one cylinder motor Opel intended to accelerate the vehicle up to approximately 120 km/h (75 mph). Then, the six powder rockets attached to the rear fender (3 mounted on each side) with a combined total of 30 kg (66 lb) of thrust would gradually ignite with the help of a foot lever mechanism."

Total awesomeness! Wow, what fun these guys must have had strapping rockets to things ;D. I wonder what these guys were up to, regardless, that is some badass stuff!
