- [Narrator] Hey, guys. It's Reacher, your host for this video. From a screwdriver-powered wood trike to a Detroit diesel V8 trike, here is our list of 20 of the craziest trikes from around the world. (upbeat music) Number 20. Who knew you could actually power a motorcycle with a cordless screwdriver? The geniuses that designed this environmentally-friendly trike obviously did. The trike appeared at an annual student designer competition and turned plenty of heads with its bent-wood construction and Bosch screwdriver connected to the rear wheel. (upbeat music) Number 19. With room for up to 10 passengers sitting one behind another, the Harley Anaconda set a new Guinness World Record for the longest motorcycle on the road. First appearing at the 2004 World of Wheels car show, the slender trike is 19 feet in length and weighs 1,420 pounds. It took creator Steve "Smokey" McGill only 640 hours over six months to complete his snake-like trike. (upbeat music) This modern looking trike doesn't look strange or different, but what is strange is it's powered by human waste stored inside the driver's seat. After the driver uses it as a toilet to do their business, the waste is turned into biofuel to propel the motorcycle. The trike was able to complete an 870-mile tour of Japan, proving that it doesn't stop going as long as you're going. (smooth music) Number 17. The VW Bug is one of the more popular vehicles to combine with a motorcycle. Though certainly strange-looking, the rounded back of the bug goes nicely with the curves of the motorcycle. You'll be hard-pressed to find another Bug bike that looks as good as these. This is the perfect trike if you have a friend or partner that doesn't like riding motorcycles. (upbeat music) Number 16. Some motorcycles are designed to pull a small trailer behind them, but this camper built right onto a trike is taking that concept to a whole new level. And if the camper built onto a trike isn't enough to turn heads, this one is painted a bright yellow with flames so you cannot miss it on the road. (upbeat music) Number 15. French madman, François Gissy, likes to build crazy bikes, and his latest creation might be his craziest yet. It's a rocket-powered trike, powered by a big tank of compressed air and rainwater. That doesn't sound like a great vehicle propellant, but it rocketed this strange little trike from zero to 62 miles per hour in just 55 hundredths of a second, and it hit a top speed of 162 miles per hour. (bike whooshes) Number 14. The Chevy Bel Air is one of the most popular classic cars of all time. These trikes are a pristine recreation of that classic vehicle, albeit in a smaller and more unique form. The two-tone color of the motorcycle part in front even matches the back, which features the trademark covered tires and wing-like fenders. From the front wheels to those great looking fenders, the builder of these trikes really nailed it. (upbeat music) For the man who loves Pontiac Fieros and motorcycles, it's Fiero Trikes. The back of these trikes and much of the floor is a Fiero, which is a mid-engine sports car produced by Pontiac from 1983 to 1988. There were about 370,000 Fieros built, so odds are, you could track one down and build your own Fiero trike, if you're weird enough to do so. (upbeat music) Number 12. The best part of these pictures may not even be the actual trike, but that doesn't make it any less remarkable. The Star Trek trikes are an awesome replica of the Starship Enterprise, with its hulls made of white fiberglass and propulsion units. Interestingly, it appears that the engine of these trikes are situated right under the seat. (upbeat music) Number 11. These hearse trikes look like a great option for the deceased who had a passion for motorcycles. Hearses like this one are becoming more and more popular at funerals, and it's not hard to see why. This particular trike has an awesome chopper up front, two passenger seats, and a beautifully-designed trailer to haul the coffin in back. (upbeat music) Number 10. Chances are you will either love or hate this interesting build from Trike Japan. The Japanese company builds Hondas and Harleys but this Suzuki Hayabusa styled after the F-1 Ferarri is a clear departure from those standard bikes. Revealed at the 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon, the Ferarri Trike backs up its looks with a 1,300cc engine that generates 194 horsepower. (upbeat music) Number nine. This barbecue on wheels combines two things that men around the world love. Motorcycles and food. There's no doubt that this mobile barbecue would really be a hit at tailgate parties and other gatherings. Just make sure you don't burn yourself when you throw your leg over to drive away. (upbeat music) Number eight. Here's an awesome creation that offers the Harley experience with the comfort and class of a limo ride. Accommodating up to eight passengers, the posh Harley limo features leather seats, a wood bar, air conditioning, a champagne cooler, and surround sound. This impressive limo-trike combo is just under 23 foot long and weighs 1.75 tons. And with a 5.7 liter V8 engine that generates 350 horsepower, we're betting the driver may have just as much fun as the passengers living it up in the back. (upbeat music) Number seven. Inspired by Tim Burton's Batman films, the Batcycle was crafted by the Polish company, Game Over Cycles, in 2015. At just under 15 feet long and seven feet wide, this nostalgic looking trike could easily fit in your garage. The Batcycle will be even better next year, as Game Over has announced that it will get new wings and a completely new suspension. And there's even a seat in back for Robin. (upbeat music) Number six. To say that the guys who built this diesel-powered trike went all out would be an understatement. This amazing trike, featuring a Kenworth hood and grill took nine months to build, and you can see that the level of detail is top notch. Powered by a 3208 Cat motor, the Kenworth trike sounds just as good as it looks. (engine roars) (upbeat music) Number five. The Rivet is a two-seat V8 trike co-designed by William Shatner. In the summer of 2015, Shatner rode across America in this unique three-wheeled vehicle that's capable of doing a wheelie in fourth gear. The most notable feature of the Rivet is well, that it's covered in rivets to resemble the metal wing construction of the B-17. This high-tech trike with a retro feel went up for sale at the end of 2015 after Shatner had his fun with it. (upbeat music) Number four. What's better than a trike with a V8 engine? How about a trike with two V8 engines? Oh, and by the way, both engines are blown. Clearly, this is a bike that generates a whole lot of power, although it's not very practical and probably doesn't handle that well. It does get high marks, though, for style and weirdness, in addition to all the power with all that shiny chrome. (engine revs) Number three. You can tell that whoever built this trike was a pro and put some serious time into it. From the engine to the parts to the exterior, it's truly a fantastic creation. Be sure and let us know in the comments which one you prefer. (upbeat music) Number two. While the other big-engine trikes on this list offer plenty of power, the Rocket II blows them all out of the water with its 1,000 horsepower engine. The trike's power plant is a V8 426 Hemi that's also equipped with a massive 871 blower. Not surprisingly, a tremendous amount of work went into building this unique trike. It took creators Tim Cotterill and Michael Leeds eight tries over the course of eight months just to get the right handlebar to drag link setup. (engine revs) Number one. There's nothing like having a supercharged, two-stroke diesel V8 running between your legs. You want raw badass power, hammer-forged nastiness? The kind of machine-borne apocalypse that looks like it was banned from the set of Mad Max for being too ridiculous? Forget that Harley Davidson. What you need is a trike with a Detroit diesel V8 engine. (engine revs loudly) (upbeat music) - Hey guys, this is Cassie. I hope you guys enjoyed this video.

The biofuel trike

The rest are pretty cool, though!
