  • Looks like a motorcycle going into hyperspace.

  • I don't think it "sucks".

    I've gotten used to ( "reprogrammed" if you will ) lots of different motor sounds through my years at motorsport(s).

    Including extremely high-tuned two-stroke racing bikes, extremely high-revving mc four-strokes, Turbo-charged car motors,

    and obviously open exhaust V-8 drag racing machines.

    I'm honestly fed up with the noice.

    I once got a thrill out of it, as I knew it "represented" power.

    Now I just want the Power !

    ( without the toxic fumes and the noice )

  • @TheSolarmike  what about the non-linear voltage drop during discharge? Although, I suppose for the drag strip that wouldn't matter much. ^_^

  • looks like i'm trading in my diesel.

  • I swear a heard a soundbarrier break even though nothing was physically going that fast

  • It does not look fast, perhaps bad camera perspective... 

  • what's the hp to weight ratio, the batteries must weight a ton.

  • First stage light (YAwNNNN) second stage light YAWNNNN ZZZZ ZZZ full amber ZZ ZZZ ZZ ZZZ ZZZ ZZZ OH SHIT GREEN whack the button Nice run tho

  • looks like a jet bike from star wars or something, lol

  • I would like to use maxwell boostcaps (ultra-capacitors) instead of the a123 cells because they can discharge at 17500 watts per kg . if you grouped 175 lbs of boostcaps together it could dump 1.4 million watts of power which is 4.6 times more energy then the killacycle (at 300 000 watts)

  • @1969canon I think he already knew that.

  • @pinoyfourlyf HUH?
