Pretty sure this is NOT steampunk:
British Steam Car uses compressed-air-powered hydraulics to inject distilled water and pre-prime itself. The water is pumped into the start of 1.86 miles of tubing to develop three megawatts of heat to convert water into 750 F steam. This super-heated "dry" steam is then directed down the car via heavily lagged pipes and two enormous industrial steam valves, which act as throttles, and then into the two-stage turbine. "That's where we turn pressure into velocity," says Candy. The steam is injected into the turbine at over two times the speed of sound; under the assault, the turbine revolves at up to 13,000 rpm. The turbine drives the rear wheels via a conventional crown wheel and pinion. The vehicle turns 10.5 gallons of water a minute into super-heated steam at 40 times atmospheric pressure.

so, is it a hub motor?

A company by the name of Revopower was developing a two-stroke wheel motor just like that a couple of years ago. I just tried going to their old web site and it looks like this product never came to fruition as it appears the company is now dead........

Nice thing about Whizzers is that they are still in production:

Guess the truth is a lot of cycles can be steampunk w/just some trim (garnish? garish?)
