Rocket bike...with a difference

I would like to see some stats on this, but it made me laugh a fair bit, so it's all good.

mounting them near the center of the wheel would make for better wheelies.

Sorry guys, they're not rockets. They are model turbojet engines.
I'm not sure of the make of the ones shown but they look like the larger ones from the Behotek range.
Pretty sophisticated, computerised electric start and all sorts of other goodies.
At a guess, those ones would put out about 15 kg of thrust each at a mainshaft speed of about 140,000 rpm
