Okay, it's $50 for the plans - but what an amazing little machine. Surely someone here has a spare $50 and a few bits and pieces lying around to make one.

Choose from either the two-stroke ‘Tarus 2’ version, with 5.5bhp and a dry weight of just 47kg, or 7bhp ‘Tarus 2m’ four-stroke that tips the scales at as much as 74kg. Both have pull starts and a three-speed transmission, while the bikes make do with a single brake, fitted to the transmission; since there’s no differential between the two wheels, the brake will act simultaneously on both the front and rear.



Head here to buy your plans - http://www.mtv-t.ru/ (paying by credit card on a russian website - what could possibly go wrong?)
