With only 14hp @ 404cc, I bet it makes a ton of torque. I'm guessing it's an under square engine (a very long stroke). It might just thump along at 70mph with the right gear ratio.

Does it use a jackshaft? Does it have a CVT? It looks like a vertical utility engine (like a Briggs), which typically has the drive shaft on the left, yet this bike has right side drive.

I agree that it's way cooler than the snail bike.
