The custom-built Roadhog motorcycle, made around a Chevrolet 153 4-cylinder, 2,512 cc engine. The complete bike is 17 feet (520 cm) long and weighs 3,280 pounds (1,490 kg), and as such is deemed impossible to steer for most people until it reaches at least 15 miles per hour (24 km/h), and when at rest it is held up by hydraulic rams that are deployed by the driver.
