Rocket Bicycle World Record ǀ 333 km/h (207 mph) ǀ Rider: François Gissy

- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2017
- On November 7th of 2014, on the Circuit Paul Ricard located at Le Castellet in South of France, I have reached a speed of 333 km/h on a rocket-propelled bicycle, after only 4.8 seconds of acceleration. A velocity of more than 300 km/h on a skinny and completely stripped bicycle, this is amazing, and a bit crazy! Who thought that one day a daredevil on a bicycle, with a rocket under the saddle, could travel the quarter mile in less than 7 seconds?
Some data:
0 to 333 km/h in 4.8 seconds
Thrust: 4.51 kN / 460 kgf
Peak acceleration: 3.05 g
Average acceleration: 1.96 g
Peak deceleration at rocket shutoff (due to the aerodynamic drag): -1.4 g

It’s all fun and games until you accidentally do a wheelie and you reach the moon.
Very underrated comment. Well done.

3 tooth for you. Nice cmt
Looks safe
its not good for kids under the age of 3
Very safe
What kind of brakes?
Campagnolo Rocket Assist is fantastic. Sure to win Tour de Luna(tic).

the best thing about this video is that it starts right away with the thing it wants to show
Rumor has it,
he was so fast,
Fear couldn’t keep up.

He's dead?
Yeah in 2018 @@davis6692

I just found this video after stumbling across the land speed record for a bicycle (183.9mph). That record happened to be set by a woman and the comment section is nothing but insults and people saying the record is pointless and that anyone with money can just buy a record (because she had a team and a custom engineered bike and drafted). But on this video there is nothing but praise and comments about how this guy must have balls of steel and so on. It’s just hilarious to read through the two comment sections.
Yea.. Welcome to 1899 erm I mean the internet. You kinda get the same when gaming. As soon as people realize that there's a female they, they become dicks or horney.
The fact that the driver/rider could keep that particular vehicle stable at that acceleration and speed is nothing short of miraculous. It defies physics.
he didn't always manage, and the time he didn't is when he died 4 years ago

Just imagine he used his brakes , he’ll be doing 300 front flips
Without neck 🤔
And have plenty of broken bones
@@ayy9689 or maybe death
The brakes would
probably not work
karan hundal no way you survive a flip (multiple) going that fast
I've seen F1 and rocket cars before, but that standing start is incredible!
Just holding onto the handlebars is some achievement in itself when taking off. Amazing stuff!
Looks like his seat pushes him too
He is history maker!
First the record goes to the whole crew, including ones who engineered that... thing. Second, if you have even handled 200mph on a motorcycle, you wouldn't say that.
He was so fast I couldn't even see his legs moving.
Quality comment.

I love bikes. I'm a 59 years old man and I still riding .. I use my electric bike for my daily rides even if it rains or snows, I always suit up and ready to rumble against any weather ..Bikes are so much fun
What is the maximum speed you ride ?
The look on the drivers face when he sees the bike pull away and leave him in the dust was priceless 😂👍🏻

I thought I've seen some crazy people on the tube, but this one tops it all !
I 've done 265 m/h on a 2,000 cc motorcycle and man that felt fast ! Just can't imagine doing it on a bicycle while laying on my stomach ...
no you haven;'t. RUclips comments section always has one guy like you who makes a post like that.
@@marks6663 ha ha lol
I didn't even know there were 2,000 cc motorcycles. The biggest I had ever seen was a [1340?] cc either Kawasaki or Yamaha. It was huge and the acceleration --- even with a 250 lb man _and_ a 170 lb man --- was insane.
Remembering 2018 - Francois Gissy, The Frenchman Known For His Incredible Homebuilt Rockets Has Died.
This footage was from 2014. He died in 2018 testing a trike.
REST IN PEACE SIR. 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Well that's the problem he experimented with a trike, he should have stuck with two wheels.
Such a shame really, total nutter really!! What a character :)
Hmmmm he's lucky he lived thru that Daredevil craziness did he have a heart attack?

It's foolish to say it lost to ordinary bicycle 🤣🤣

This video has already been taken 5 years ago, on Nov 7th 2014. So the chances that this WR will survive also the next 2 years are pretty good.

As a kid this is what I thought I looked like running home when I saw the street lights coming on!!!
😅☝🏻 Wow! I just broke my left knee cap on a tuned electric scooter. Respect! It literally goes like a rocket. When I have recovered I want one! Greetings from Germany! Love it!
Quite surprised the spoked cycle wheels and tyres survived.
Exactly
Why not? There are very few stresses on them. The wheels are not driven, there are no side loads (straight line drag race) and as long as the bearings are good, there should be no issues.
At higher speeds the centrifugal force will put an even load from the hub to the rim, but this is tensile, which is what the spokes are designed for. As long as the rubber is stiff enough to accept centrifugal distortion the design is sound and very light weight.
Why? There is but a couple stresses on them. They aren’t driven from a hub. They pretty much have just as much stress put on them as a normal bike
Motorcycle wheels most likely

It’s insane how fast it goes it’s almost comical. it seems sped up it so quick. Hats off to the rider and the engineers that built that thing.
Sad to learn he passed short after this footage! Real hero with nerves of Steel!👏
The fact that a pebble can literally end this man's career
Nah, that gyroscope will be crazy good. But a gentle downward curve in the road...
I thought I read that he did died afterwards

Wow. That guy is insane. The acceleration and speed were breath taking. And to do it at Paul Ricard could've induced a fit.
Gissy ain't no sissy. Cannot imagine holding that straight during that acceleration.

@naaman leigh hey.... Go preach somewhere else.. crack head ..
I once went 47 miles per hour on a mountain bike going down a long step grade road in Atlanta. The faster you go the harder it is to control your balance along with the physical and mental strain. The bike begins to feel like a brittle device ready to come apart any moment. The wind hits you in the face causing your eyes to water. You tuck into the bike the best you can. You feel fear yet stay with it because there isn’t any other option. Cars are passing inches from you on the left. Your attention is for debris that could throw you left into a car or to the right where a step falloff wouldn’t be an option.
Hats off to this rocket bike. I just don’t see how he could have done it.
I did that before... only 20 miles an hour an my dumbass tried to brake and flew over the handle bars and broke my left arm lol
I got an e-bike that does 36 miles an hour and it scares the hell out of me, people don't realize how fast that is
You are dead on. And 25 coming down a ski slope seems like super hero speed.
I did 30mph one time and I remember vividly how insanely fast it was. Definitely feels like you had really really really better not make a wrong move
I used to ride my bike to work going down Paces Ferry. I know a few other good hills in that area. Good times. Lol
Très intéressant et spectaculaire. Tu es pas mal courageux c'est certain!
I would not have believed it if I had not SEEN it on you tube. Wow, Wow and Wow the impossible possible.

So you follow F1 huh......... me too.
And not just beat it, but blow it away!
Ford humiliates Ferrari and now a bicycle does it too. What has become of the old world order!
On the upside even electronic supercars won't keep up with something that light. But yes, guess ferrari is done 😄
