I enjoyed The TT . They had first electric race . It look's like you're heading in the right direction. I think most will be electric. Interesting film. 5*

I am an Aussie in Japan that has a Kawasaki ZZR-1400 which we are converting over to Electric, Top speed about 160Kph range about the 150Km. We also designed the EV " Senator" Chopper in 2008 there is a look alike on the net claiming to be the world first electric Chopper, but sorry to say it is not.

Placer le moteur dans la roue arrière est une exellente idée pour gagner de la place pour les batteries et éviter un mécanisme d'entrainement trops complexe.

Avec un moteur brushless il est peut étre possible de gagner de la vitesse vue leurs grandes vitesses de rotation et leurs randements.

Bonne chance pour la suite.

That thing makes the most awesome stall torque noise.
