— December 23, 2006 — Autos
The Dolmette is the world's first chainsaw powered motorcycle, it is motorized by 24 DOLMAR chainsaw engines and applies a 5-speed Harley-Davidson transmission to bring 5.2 kW of power (7.1 PS) at 10,000 rpm. It can reach the speed of 125 kW when all 24 engines are united. Watch the video to see it in action.
