This impressive motorcycle is the work of Tom Sepe, who converted a 1967 Tote-Gote, one of the first off road motorcycles, into an electric steampunk work of art.

The motorcyle was fitted with a 15 hp motor, the kind used in electric motorcycle racing, and a steam boiler made from a fire extinguisher tank. The boiler isn’t connected to the wheels however, and it’s only used for visual steam effects. Says Sepe: “But on the other hand, if I crank it up really high, then you get flames shooting out the back of the bike. Which is cool.”

After the jump, a movie of the motorcycle in action. For more details and photos, check out this interview with Tom Sepe.
