ICE aren’t growing much in size and are getting more and more efficient. Why not make them air cooled? Porches used to be aircooled, and those were performance cars with the engine in the back. I would imagine having an engine in the front might be easier to cool, no?

      Doesn’t mean we have to burn fossil fuels. Ethanol is cool as fuck. Less range but more power and you can make it with various methods.

      As for bicycles, I cycled for many years and worked at a bicycle shop. Their “gearbox” design is horrible. Their durability is tragic. For commute I am using electric scooter now, much less reliability issues. I hate the tires on bicycles and scooters though, seriously need to get tubeless.

        If your bike’s durability is an issue that’s on you for either not doing basic maintenance or buying a piece of junk.

            The most used mean of transportation in the world has durability issues 🙄

            Compare how much needs to be spent to ride vs to drive, even if you were to change the chain and cassettes every 10k km…

            No wonder you’re asking if air cooled engines could make a comeback.
