If those fans can absorb 2-3 horsepower each, the original motor is redundant.
One of the comments that got posted yesterday suggested that this 126p got a larger engine and the fans are for the cooling system (the original engine was air-cooled, 0.65-0.7 liter, two cylinders).
Maybe this was done for racing? That would justify the aero.
