THE QUICKEST BIKE IN THE WORLD! - ERIC TEBOUL ROCKET BIKE AT SANTA POD RACEWAY 

For a guy that's 60 years old and has 2 kids and is a grandfather of 2. That's BADASS way to retire in my opinion

so glad he his final run was his fastest ever thanks for the memories

F.y.i. His half track (1/8th mile - 660ft) numbers where 3.36 seconds at 239.9mph. And his 1000ft speed was 290mph. I was watching from the bank side at 1000ft and when the 4.97 appeared on the board I cheered like I'd won the lottery. I've never heard the Santa Pod crowd cheers that loud in 29 years of attending. I've been watching Eric at the Pod for decades and he was my late father's favourite racer. I held back tears there and then at the track ... But I balled my eyes out rewatching it here. Thank you Kieran for capturing it.. and thank you Eric for some epic memories 🫡

I was in the stands. I’ve seen Eric run a few times but this was really special. Happy retirement Eric 😎

I saw the run today. The way it accelerated from half track was just stunning. It was pulling SO hard. Kudus to the man!

That's utterly insane. Dudes a legend!

What a legend and what a way to retire! Fantastic footage by the way 👏

I don't know what's more scary, the thought of launching it, or pulling the brake lever at the end.

Just for information, when Eric fires the bike down the track he’s on it until it runs out of pressure, there’s is no of switch or throttle, once it goes it has to go & as the commentator explained Eric distils his own fuel from hydrogen peroxide which in itself is highly dangerous

5:18 geez thats as fast as an old top fuel dragster from the 90's and early 2000's

Eric you made alot of people happy ,thank you

Balls of steel!

1/4 mile drag 4.9 seconds at 290 mph - that takes bravery.

Amazing, atmosphere around the track was great. 💪👌

What a man. Would love to have been there to witness history being made. Amazing.

There will always be Eric Teboul and nobody else, even if his time will be beaten in the future (maybe!). You are the greatest and always will be remembered for your guts and your spirit !! Enjoy your latter days and God Bless !!

I was lucky enough to be there and witness it. A great weekend of racing.

That's one fast wheeled baguette. Riders be like: "The Kawasaki H2R is a too violent beast in acceleration, there is no way I can even exploit 10% of its power." Eric Teboul: "Hold my peroxyde beer."

Spoke to him at track before what a humble man legend just like sammy who will ever fill there boots when you think sammys times not been beat in over 40 years we’re going backwards like Concorde let’s not improve on it let’s take it away wtf always forward now sadly backwards Great Britain bless Eric and sammy ❤

Quickest and fastest bike in the world! What a way to retire, congratulations on your 4:97/290.51 second run!

I'm really happy to see this on santa pod that day 😁 absolutely awesome experience 👏

Been there, met him, shook hands, very nice person.

Fantastic run!!

THE REAL ROCKET 🚀 MAN!!! M.O'B

I wish Eric all the best and I wonder if anyone will pick up the reins with that bike? A good spectacle that adds value to a weekend at Pod. Crazy person needed 🤔

Absolute legend

That just sent shivers down my spine, as the hairs stood on end…. What an incredibly brave man, so glad he has now decided to hang up his helmet and gloves. A true living legend. 🙏✊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Incredible!

Mint Filming Dude ! X

This man is absolute Legend💪

Speechless ! look at the numbers. Congrats Eric from Australia, enjoy retirement.

Man! Did anyone see what planet he landed on!!!!!!!!!

Wow that is incredible

That was absolutely fucking awesome!!!

What a great way to end your racing career, congratulations Eric

Thinking that record's going to stay round a while!

I first went to Santa pod in the E,j, Potter era,...and that was mind blowing,......but. this. tops everything ive seen ....huge thanks for posting/sharing

Makes ole E.J. Potter almost seem tame. Almost. Bravo!

His feet seem to come off the pegs and are just dangling in the wind, then he does a jump at the end, insane

Impressive! 👍🏻

What a way to retire! And crazy that he's doing almost 300 but just relying on brakes to get it stopped.

Love this place.

Congrat eric i did see your run at santapod

Imagine going 200MPH only to get passed by someone going 90mph faster

WOW , epic day or what, wish we had got there...

Fast forward through the first four minutes to see what you came to see. Gotta be a little crazy to ride that thing!

Legend

Wow, that was faster than if it was slower! 😃👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Eric stole the day! We sat in the stands and watched history being made! As he passed the finish line there was a mass release of joy, from like-minded individuals! It was what memories are made of and very special! I Hope whatever the future brings for Eric, let it be as much fun! Amen

What a legend in the game

Insane.

The Auto Glym sign beside the time said it all..."The perfect finish"

Мужик молодец, такое не каждому по плечу.

I’ve never wanted to taste my spine and I’ve never needed a wheelbarrow to aid my testicular transport. Mad as a bag of rats. I salute you stranger !

Bloody hell! 😲

Shame not to see Eric at the Pod this year, I wonder if we will ever see such machines run again ?

"H2 crying at the corner"😂

Seconds after the video finishes, the commentators said he already hit 290mph in 4.2 seconds @ the 1000ft mark.

Chills

Would've love to see him make a couple of passes at the U.S. Nationals just once, probably would've cost some major coin but worth it. Have a great retirement Sir. Thanks for the memories!!💪🙏👍👊🏆🔥💯

Amazing 👍😅

No wheelies this way right?

That bump he hits after the line ☠️

Mind……blown!

Gute Nacht, ohne Worte

Wow gone in 60 seconds to the moon!

Seeing this in the flesh was absolutely insane!!!

Presque inconnu en France .... reconnu par tout le Monde ! C'est sûrement mieux comme ça 🤣✌ Bravo et merci

Wow that was a fast retirement,what an achievement at that age 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I was there it was insane but doubt it’s his last time at Santa pod sure he said same last year good luck to him either way ha

Extraordinary,,

Seen on previous occasion. First thought nothing worth seeing ,seconds later .F me that thing goes.

Just being near a fueled hypergolic rocket of any kind is insane.

Amazing run! How does he stop in time with no parachute?

Jävlar....kamikaze Pilot..........😎😎😎😎😎

5:10 finally 😱

Is that for real,that was nearly as fast as my mrs chasing me out of the pub 🤣🤣mental acceleration

What in the world😲

Have they found him?

Shiiiit 😮 Any idea how many g that is? Mental 🤯

If I’d tried it it would have been my final run too.

Dangers

Can we see that in slow motion please .

I’m curious if the 2025 Tesla Roadster will use some sort of booster like this.

Стартанул как я на самокате, вот только шлема такого у меня нет.😂

Can someone please explain to me why dragstrips always appear to have a fresh rain on them? There's a sheen that even reflects the signage in the distance.

Mad respect to all those phones recording in horizontal. Vertical recording on a drag race really makes me question some IQ.

holy shit

🤩

The world's all-time slowest helmet and glove putter oner.

4.9?????? Respect.

thats fast- but a big difference to rear wheel rubber driven !- dont say its easier- just different for sure;-()

finally an bike that can beat ninja h2r

Iron balls Eric. Almost 300 mph on two wheels. That is a hell of a ride. What do you do for fun? I can't say ride rockets...

He'll be pissing blood for a while after that one!

4:35 it almost looks like an extreme-g bike

Gosh

Another 15 MPH and he'll be George Santos record

I think it's gonna be a long long time till touchdown brings him round again to find, he's not the man they think he is at home oh no no no no... he's a rocketman...rocketman...burnin' down the strip... look out..he's gone...

Yeah that's pretty fast
