electric motors are all about pure instant torque

Is that thing powered by lightning or something?!?!?!?!?!!?

Swear I heard Thunder @0:48 followed by a Jet engine or something lol :-D

[Ryan Cooper]

Very easy on electric Motor.

Lawless performance out of Poland Ohio helped build this bike. All I can say is WOW!

[inagod]

they develop max torque instantly and have a very flat power band.They don't have more or less torque than a IC engine,it all depends on the amount of current you put in.Electrics are perfect for drag racing,because of the instant power,torque to launch the car.

New transmission CVT design by BitRaptor. Is a continuously variable transmission CVT gear only (the only one functional in the world), very compact and lightweight, and which could replace the current systems both for efficiency, simplicity and not least the costs.

Because this CVT work only with pinions is better the all other systems by efficiency and high torque transmission.

In the web page bitraptor com you will find more explanations, drawings and a short video of a basic prototype.

electrics will never be fast they said. it doesnt have enough torque they said.
