JamesG Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 The owner of this hugely powerful electric motorbike (0-60mph in less than 1 second) tries to do a burn-out, gets it wrong and crashes into a car! Hopefully he wasn't badly injured, but the moment where he shoots off into the distance is priceless http://www.tgdaily.com/html_tmp/content-view-33853-113.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 LOL Don't worry, it was the first one I saw so as far as I'm concerned the other link is the repost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 No helmet, no leathers and he's trying to do a burnout on a bike with this sort of torque? He hadn't even got proper brakes at the front, compared to the massive wheel at the back trying to overtake him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 It is a pity it makes the news because he cocked up, but the underlying technology in that was interesting... 400bhp equiv. from 175 pounds of batteries... interesting, would be more interesting to know how long they last. The current draw on something like that must be incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 0-60 in less than a second! That's bloody quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Fair play to him as well for this post.... http://www.killacycle.com/ I’m Fine (scapes and cuts) Bike is a little bent…. First off, I’m just a bit scraped up. Embarrassed of course. I had not intended the bike to move in the soapy water, just spin the tire. Got it slowed down to about 20 mph. Front wheel is bent, as are front forks. Cowling is not nearly as pretty as it was. Battery box took a hit from the front wheel. Almost certainly, some cells were shorted. No smoke. No fire. Ultra safe cells. Had these been anything but A123 Systems Nano-phosphate cells, shorts would have caused a serious fire. No major damage. We will have it fixed in short order. Important to note: Area in front of the bike was CLEARED of ALL PEOPLE. NO ONE was at risk but me. Concrete on both sides of area. Yes, I am an idiot. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I say its the girls fault. Didn't put nearly the right amount of soapy water down, and most of of it behind the bike. Notice how the bike takes off when it hits the dry area. Blame the female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 400bhp equiv. from 175 pounds of batteries!! When is this technology going to be available to mass production? 800 bhp car with 350lb battery. No clunky Getrags, no rattley Giken clutches, no mapping, no egt's,no noise, no octane worries, pretty much no moving parts to fail........ I want it now (although the radiation might kill me, can't be any worse than the carcenegenic crap I mix with my fuel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
