Rocket Bicycle World Record ǀ 333 km/h (207 mph) ǀ Rider: François Gissy

On November 7th of 2014, on the Circuit Paul Ricard located at Le Castellet in South of France, I have reached a speed of 333 km/h on a rocket-propelled bicycle, after only 4.8 seconds of acceleration. A velocity of more than 300 km/h on a skinny and completely stripped bicycle, this is amazing, and a bit crazy! Who thought that one day a daredevil on a bicycle, with a rocket under the saddle, could travel the quarter mile in less than 7 seconds?

Some data:
0 to 333 km/h in 4.8 seconds
Thrust: 4.51 kN / 460 kgf
Peak acceleration: 3.05 g
Average acceleration: 1.96 g
Peak deceleration at rocket shutoff (due to the aerodynamic drag): -1.4 g

I am looking for sponsors in order to build much more powerful, spectacular, and faster vehicles.
Some amazing projects are waiting to become a reality.
