25th Feb 2010. Countax engineers watched by senior managers saw the finishing touches put to a new Kawasaki engine fitted to the Runningblade machine, and saw it fired up for the first time and engage the power to the wheels. It was a fantastic sight, and judging by the reaction from the development engineers (big grins all around) it certainly seems to be the right engine for the job. The new engine is the result of close cooperation between engineers at Countax and Kawasaki who have been working behind closed doors for a while now. All of this was being filmed for the Canadian Discovery Chanel - their second visit to Countax. The new engine, although much more powerful than the engine used on the prototype that was tested last year at Pendine, is still "legal" as it is currently fitted to lawnmowers.
