LOL, we have a few of them at Rotary Recycle.

The caption under the Van Veen has a typo, the bike has a 2 rotor 1000cc engine.

Damn, all the years I lived over there and didn't know about that. After looking it up, I'm really pissed. It's near Mannheim and I used to go there all the time.

Except the ones developed behind the iron curtain. This tiny 1-rotor engine is actually an East-German prototype developed for the Trabant. Because all East-German cars were 2-strokes anyway, gas stations only pumped pre-mix. With oil already mixed in the gas, this engine had no need for an oil injection system. Such are the engineering benefits of communisim.

If rotary engines sound like chainsaws, what does a rotary chainsaw sound like?
