World’s First Chainsaw-Powered Motorcycle

The DOLMETTE is the unique motorcycle that is powered by 24 DOLMAR chainsaw engines. It is using a 5-speed Harley-Davidson transmission by a series of twelve toothed belts. The engines were tuned and tweaked to deliver 5.2 kW of power (7.1 PS) at 10,000 rpm. Maximum torque delivery is 5.5 Nm at 7,750 rpm. When all 24 are combined, the result is a 24-cylinder power plant with a total displacement of 1.9 litres, a power output of 125 kW (170 PS) and 130 Nm of torque at the centrifugal clutches. Let’s watch the videos after the jump!
