Default Funny torque discussions. Torque doesn't move your bike!

Power is equal to torque multiplied by RPM.
Big engines have more power at lower RPM. That is why people like them.
You need one arm to produce more torque that your motor. If you have 6' lever and you pull it with 100 lb. force. It is 600 ft/lb. torque.

So do you prefer torque or horsepower?

OK, sounds about right. And I can take a small, cheap 6 lb Harbor Freight 1/2" air impact gun and get 700 ft lbs torque. What's your point?

Using the lever theory, with your legs, at about 3 feet, you have 300 lbs of torque, times 2. Now, all you have to do is move them at about 1500 rpms, and then, you can ride the Flintstone ride.

Stoneybrook awaits. You'll prolly have to make the broom, broom sounds yourself.
