The Mythbusters, Jamie Heineman and Adam Savage, decided to recently take on a rather peculiar legend involving a Citroen 2CV.
It says that a man was at one point stranded in the middle of nowhere with nothing but the small Citroen and a series of tools and that he managed build a motorbike out of it and ride away.
The two Mythbusters had knowledge of the original design, which was similar to an actual motorbike (with the engine in the middle). That didn’t work, though, and they then proceeded to moving it all the way at the back.
This didn’t make it any more ridable and in the end they didn’t really manage to get it going. The duo confesses to “really trying to make this work,” but it was to no avail in the end.
