Where's the engine?

How many times has somebody said "That mountainbike looks like a motorbike without an engine?". Well somebody at scott has a sense of humour. They grafted a 77cc (12hp) moped engine and 2 speed gearbox on a Scott G-Zero DH bike, along with moped wheels, tyres and discs. Best thing that's ever happened to a moped if you ask me! It took the person who did this work of art around 150 hours apparently. It has standard Rockshox DHO forks and rear Super Deluxe shock (on the working swingarm!) along with standard-ish bars etc. Spec? Try saying a top speed of around 125 kmh (75 mph) and an all up weight of 36kg! Also, due to the engine placement the bike wheelies at almost ANY SPEED!! Mad! (Pic thanks to MBUK)
