Electric motor is so quick in reaction, no time to synchronize air + gas + moving piston + Oil + clutch etc... Motor Electric is a simple rotator using a magnet.
How green is an electrocat? I mean, assuming you don't have a solar panel or wind turbine in your backgarden, you are heavily relying on nuclear power to charge the battery right?
I know I sound like a tree hugger, well I am haha.
It's a lot better than internal combustion. From memory it is like 5 times better (taking into account the coal burned at the power station etc.). That's a very, very rough guess from memory.
Considering the fact that you never need oil changes and lubrication of dozens of moving parts, and there is no need for fossil fuels that need to be imported, refined, checked, stored, transported to your local station and then sold to you. Do not forget that an electric motor is 90% to 95% efficient, while a combustion engine is hardly 30% efficient.
These savings themselves make electric vehicles a lot safer and greener, even though they do draw their current from nuke/coal plants
Awesome! I didn't even have to turn my speakers down. Can't wait until they're practical for street/consumer use. Electric propulsion has to feel pretty cool. Maximum torque is available immediately.
Hhaa

@jgibson111 I think electrics will be faster then any air fuel engine,its just a matter of time.

good video.
what's the deal really with a race tire? size alone doesn't really improve grip so is it also very soft rubber?
