Although without a doubt Tom has a penchant for the rusty and retro, he’s no backwards-thinking petrolhead.
“I like a ** thumping petrol engine ** as much as anyone else, but I’m pretty excited about the possibilities with electric bikes.
There’s so much potential to create a really cool-looking electric bike – if someone wants one, give me a shout as I’d be up for it.”

"A chi non piace un bel motore a scoppio tradizionale? Ma..."
"Petrol engine" è "an internal combustion engine with spark-ignition, designed to run on petrol (gasoline) and similar volatile fuels", ma qui mi sembra che sia usato (insieme a thumping) decisamente più per dare enfasi che per dare una descrizione tecnica, soprattutto per contrasto con l'alternativa dei motori elettrici citata subito dopo.
