Oooo... Might have found a new hobby

Saw this and though it was cool. Electric drag bike. Under seven seconds in the quarter mile at over 200 mph. Google "Lawless EV racing". They have all kinds of cool stuff.

Where are you going to find an extension cord that long Ray?

[BushMasterBoy]

I'm taking flying lessons, so I don't have to be anally probed...

That is a legitimate question. Guess I'll have to steal a few when people get all of their Christmas lights set out. [Coffee]

Have you come across the video where the designer/builder of the bike (but not the rider) gets on to show a reporter how it works, and silently launches himself into a car across the parking lot?

Ha. No. But it sounds funny.

<giggle> What was it that Forrest Gump's mama always used to say?

Electric motor=instant torque. I had to replace some of the hybrid batteries in some of the Chevy volts for a recall for leaks. I was pretty surprised when I stood in it.

I could see it Ray, the Griswald edition. A combination of Clarks lights and Cousin Eddies sewer explosion.
On wheels.

Competition is one of the best ways to foster technological innovation.

I'm glad to see this kind of thing gaining popularity.

Its Ironic. He is from Killa Cycle...

And no helmet to top it off

You'd think he would have at least had it buckled to the back seat where all the cool guys keep thiers.

Pretty sure there are several all electric drag cars. I'm thinking a old RX-7 or 323 or something running 10's.
I've seen an all electric first gen Mustang as well.

What a case of whiskey throttle.

[Snowman78]

Start with RC, same stuff, (Brushless motors, ESC, Lipo batterys) just smaller and cheaper:

No doubt, gonna need at least 8 guage for that thing...


[LOL]

You gonna let Jim ride on the back? You know he's got his heart set on it.

I was watching some YouTube videos about this fellow who owns a street-legal electric car that was breaking record after record on the drag strip. The amount of torque they put out is very impressive. The owner also switched the battery pack to Li-ion and this dropped the weight the by 700 lbs and shaved almost a second from his quarter-mile run.

I have to admit, these electric vehicles got me thinking about buying a Nissan Leaf and taking it to Bandemere on the weekends... :-)

[clodhopper]

Not sure a stock leaf is going to provide the performance you are seeking. Just a guess.

[cysoto]

Not even if I bolt on a wheely bar and throw on some slicks?

Yes, I had a chance to rent a Nissan Leaf, stupid fast and no engine/transmission noise at all. Fun but short ranged.
