THE QUICKEST BIKE IN THE WORLD! - ERIC TEBOUL ROCKET BIKE AT SANTA POD RACEWAY

[@morphman21]

For a guy that's 60 years old and has 2 kids and is a grandfather of 2. That's BADASS way to retire in my opinion

[@smackheadnify]

Yeah

[@BenEvans-d5o]

Frcuz

[@stringsgb8833]

That's utterly insane. Dudes a legend!

[@FORDSCORT]

so glad he his final run was his fastest ever thanks for the memories

[@tyrannaturkey4896]

Ik and the reason it was the fastest cus I asked him all the times before the pod didn't want him go all out incase he would die but this time they let him and apparently half way down the track his legs weren't on the bike he was just holding on

[@brianiswrong]

I don't know what's more scary, the thought of launching it, or pulling the brake lever at the end.

[@izom]

apropos lever- i see a clutch lever- guess its another brake??

[@desmo316mrvolvo5]

Acceleration equals meters/sec^2. 1 G equals 9.8 meters/sec^2

[@beringerbrakes7985]

This is why we worked with Eric to supply him the best brakes possible that combined power, predictability and endurance.

[@jbin2424]

F.y.i. His half track (1/8th mile - 660ft) numbers where 3.36 seconds at 239.9mph. And his 1000ft speed was 290mph. I was watching from the bank side at 1000ft and when the 4.97 appeared on the board I cheered like I'd won the lottery. I've never heard the Santa Pod crowd cheers that loud in 29 years of attending. I've been watching Eric at the Pod for decades and he was my late father's favourite racer. I held back tears there and then at the track ... But I balled my eyes out rewatching it here. Thank you Kieran for capturing it.. and thank you Eric for some epic memories 🫡

[@bertbaxter72]

I have never really watched much of this kind of motorsport ... But it's so nice too hear how much enjoyment and passion you and you father had .. I'm going to try and get tickets for my son and I next year .. Any advice for best days .. 🙌 Bless ..

Starts at 5:04. Out of 6 min video 10 seconds actually matters.

[@mk1kieran]

The build up was always part of Eric Teboul’s runs, I’d never uploaded the full lot before but it felt fitting as it was his final ever & world record pass.

[@kagiv]

@@mk1kieran you are right, I should mention that this is time stamp for those which wish see actual run only.

[@frixstersprout3543]

I was lucky enough to be there and witness it. A great weekend of racing.

[@CarpeNoctum95]

Seen him run twice, including this run. Just le it be known, this man has more balls than you'll ever have, no matter how hard you try. Absolute legend.

[@simonashworth2820]

I was in the stands. I’ve seen Eric run a few times but this was really special. Happy retirement Eric 😎

[@mk1kieran]

It was quite something to witness!

[@stuart207]

I saw Eric years ago. So happy for his achievement. Secretly I think he could have done it twenty years ago 😉

[@robpage9025]

I've been extremely privileged to have seen this incredible man with his amazing machine a few times. Hes now retired. I dought there will be another like him for a long time, if ever again. Thank you Eric you truly have earned legend status.

[@johnthepainter6959]

What a legend and what a way to retire! Fantastic footage by the way 👏

[@kmslates1973]

Balls of steel!

[@michaelmcnicoll1919]

Been there, met him, shook hands, very nice person.

[@jackmagnium6115]

5:18 geez thats as fast as an old top fuel dragster from the 90's and early 2000's

[@JustMeBlindFreddy]

silly bunny! This is a bike, man!

[@robertfield5036]

Just for information, when Eric fires the bike down the track he’s on it until it runs out of pressure, there’s is no of switch or throttle, once it goes it has to go & as the commentator explained Eric distils his own fuel from hydrogen peroxide which in itself is highly dangerous

[@titter3648]

Of course there is a off switch. How else do you imagine he turns it of when he does the initial purges before the start?

[@robertfield5036]

Mate I know what I’m talking about & I know Eric, I’ll say it again when he presses the button to go, it cannot be stopped until it’s out off pressure, do some research before commenting, there’s an interview with Eric where he explains, I raced bikes at Pod for 15 years

[@titter3648]

@@robertfield5036 So how do you explain how he does the purges/pressure tests before he starts if he can not stop it after he pushes the button? Designing a system that could not be turned off would be idiotic, and a hydrogen peroxide rocket is just a simple valve that lets the fuel into the reaction chamber where the catalyst screen is, so why in the world would he not design it so the valve could not be turned off again?

[@danielduke5059]

​@@titter3648 your not seeing it from the right side he adjusts the tank right before he launches it, looks like he is basically opening up the pressure to full, it's just a guess but I think when he gives it the small bursts he is most likely doing what you said purging it with very small busrts with what I can only imagine is a purge button at much lower pressure, then on the actual run logically you wouldn't want to be trying to hold down a button with that much acceleration you may lift off accidentally, I've seen this guy a few times now live at the santa pod and plenty of videos on you tube and never seen him lift off ever, like the guys says in the video the tanks are not full and runs out well before the finish line he is already slowing down this run was a one off with extra fuel so he can ran it right to the finish line and I don't think he is the type of person to even consider trying to shut it down ever so probably just designed it purposely as a strictly on button takes away the option of stopping too, imagine how many times he may have backed off a bit or cut it off completely if he could he isn't a normal person he just hangs on and gets it done

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

1/4 mile drag 4.9 seconds at 290 mph - that takes bravery.

[@cbr1thou]

Yeah ridin a bike at 290 is huge sack

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

@@cbr1thou - no one can ever say again that the French are cowards.

[@christinalloyd9566]

I saw the run today. The way it accelerated from half track was just stunning. It was pulling SO hard. Kudus to the man!

[@user-sh2lz8lc3o]

And he’s now 1/2 inch shorter, lol.

[@RonJeremy514]

That's one fast wheeled baguette. Riders be like: "The Kawasaki H2R is a too violent beast in acceleration, there is no way I can even exploit 10% of its power." Eric Teboul: "Hold my peroxyde beer."

[@MrTaylorTexas]

Fast forward through the first four minutes to see what you came to see. Gotta be a little crazy to ride that thing!

[@SnoodyMcFlude]

What a way to retire! And crazy that he's doing almost 300 but just relying on brakes to get it stopped.

[@2wheelhoon813]

We are in the midst of a third world war... Europe is also gonna be in a major recession this winter etc. This man has a very high level education. I think he understands at his age he may as well call it quits now. The bike will probably become a coffee table in his home office or something

[@LewisHamiltonMSPR]

Seconds after the video finishes, the commentators said he already hit 290mph in 4.2 seconds @ the 1000ft mark.
