Good to see people coming up with all sorts of ideas.

93% efficient with hydraulics?

Yeah I had to look at the efficiency twice as well as seeing the bike capable of 55-60mph in single drive mode?

That bike looks heavy and really cannot see it reaching the claimed figures.

No telling who copied who, but Jeff Parker, who built the diesel / hydraulic drive cruiser a couple years ago built a very similar looking hydraulic 2WD bike called the Raccoon last year powered by a Honda petrol engine. There's a 3:33 minute video of the bike at the link below. Likely more hp than the diesel, but definitely not 55-60 mph.
