FAQs
A: Yes! The engine arrives pre-assembled on the wooden base—simply add fuel and start it using the included tools.
A: Approximately 5–10 minutes per small fuel load, depending on operation intensity. It’s designed for display runs, not continuous use.
A: While primarily a display model, hobbyists with advanced skills can modify it for small-scale RC motorcycles (additional parts required).
A: No—ignition is mechanical (hand puller) or drill-powered (electric shaft), requiring no batteries for operation.
A: It produces a gentle, rhythmic engine sound, loud enough to appreciate the V-twin mechanics without being obtrusive.
