Aircooled engine plus is a relatively small engine. One person could lift it clean off the ground without any extra leverage. You need to consider that the mechanics of an engine back in 1990 (last year the 2CV was produced) were unbelievably basic compared to modern engines. To be honest, I've no doubt the guy built this however it baffles me that he chose to take this approach rather than repair the vehicle. People argue it was more than a snapped swing arm but I'm confused as it would take significantly more damage to render it irreparable for a man of his obvious ability. We can rule out engine and chassis failure as these were key components in his 'motorbike'. Bottom line, this is bloody fascinating, regardless of what the truth may be.
