i ssay put a frount moter thats geared for the top end u only gained 1 mph from 1/8to 1/4 mile defently run the same reargear . voltage = power

[Doctorbass]

@MrJetjoe rear motor are enough.. believe me!

Voltage is not power.... power is voltage time current =) and i use both !

watch more of my video.. you'll see i built another one.. a DH bike that top 106kmh using 15-20kW of aceleration power

top speed?

[DanFrederiksen]

@MrJetjoe NOPE sure doesn't take your misinformation somewhere else scrub

[richardmg9]

@MrJetjoe NOPE voltage does NOT equal power you scrub. Why not just strap some 9v alkaline batteries together....

[MrJetjoe]

hay doc, I though I would share with u what i have been working on. regenrtive electric scooters and have achived it. basicly two scooters put toghter but not connected electricly and bolth have regentive costing (no freewheele) 1 pushes the other and charges and u use whatever one has the highest volatge. the other one u probly won't belive but electric scooter without batterys.

you can make yourself a carbon fiber frame,handle bar and other components that individualy don't weigh much but in summed will be considerable weight loss :)
