I wonder if Pauly was joking or serious, but then i remember he was from Australia and figure out he is probably serious

Flywheel is nice but it should be KKK powered with compressed air.

How in the name of "something" did i get them 2 mixed up.




Let me get this straight. You ride a bike for exercise right? you race a bike to prove you're a better bike rider and have a better fitness ect.
So this is for the lazy? if i remember correctly they have invented motor bikes

To transfer this to a car.. The weight of this flywheel needs to be 100-200 Kgs or more.. So that's more weight. More MPGs. More power used to move the car and spin the damn thing.

He can't be telling the truth about the fly wheels orogin as it is not leaking any oil.
