More Mental bikes likes

More crazy Japanese bikes. These are from Japanese bike makers: SHUKUNO-RINTENDO. Between 1996 and 1998 they produced a special series of power assited bicycles, 2 of them were the Fire Trick Bob and the Water Trick Bob. The Fire Trick Bob had a small turbine which produced 4.4 horsepower of thrust. The water and air tanks of the Water Trick Bob could generate enough thrust for 50 meters. There were also a propeller powered version and an electric version. Although i don't think I'd be willing to put my trust in these nutty looking contraptions, they do look great!
