Electric bicycles are all the rage lately. They are a common sight on sidewalks and roadways, giving their riders the ability to zoom along at high speeds without any effort. That’s certainly a huge upgrade from pedal bikes of old.

These bikes come in all sorts of configurations and with all sorts of price tags, with some being more powerful than a scooter. As such, many owners take a lot of pride in their rides. But no matter how cool your electric bike is, I guarantee it’s not as cool as YouTuber Creative Channel’s electric bike.

Creative Channel’s bike may be electric, but it works in a different way than other bikes: it is powered by jet engines. These engines spin at up to 75,000 RPM and give the rider a major boost that would leave a traditional electric bike in the dust.

The build consists of four powerful ducted electric fans. Power is supplied to each by its own power supply brick. As far as batteries are concerned, Creative Channel clearly used whatever was on hand: four 10,400 mAh batteries, four 2,200 mAh units, two 2,300 mAh, and a single 1,800 mAh battery. An analog switch was included to control their speed.

A metal frame was created and welded to the frame of a traditional bike. Brackets were welded to the frame to attach the fans. Three fans were positioned near the back wheel, and one next to the front. Power supplies were attached to the bike’s main frame, and the batteries were stowed in satchels. Everything was wired up, and the analog switch was attached to the handlebar.

Creative Channel doesn’t mention how fast the jet bike goes, but the first-person view makes it look quite fast. This isn’t something many people are going to be able to build on their own, so be sure to check out the video to get an idea of what it is like riding a jet bike.
