Electric Drag Bike goes 8.760 @ 145.44mph

Did it blow up at the ened??????

Electric motor (esp. DC) should be all torque, almost forever- not too much of a drop like an internal combustion. At least until the battery dies, which shouldn't happen on a 1/4 mile.

Did it blow up at the ened?????? "Just as Scotty crossed the finish line, the rear motor splashed plasma onto the track, creating an awesome fireworks display"

rear motor? as in the there is a front motor too?

that thing was sweet! talk about a silent killer!

:yikes: Sweet! I wouldnt mind having an elec sportbike. The new elec engines being developed could give the internal combustion engine a run for the money.

:yikes: Sweet! I wouldnt mind having an elec sportbike. The new elec engines being developed could give the internal combustion engine a run for the money. i'm holding out for a fusion powered hover bike.

i'm holding out for a fusion powered hover bike. I'm hold'n out for the speeders from Starwars :drool:

wonderful thing about that bike is that technically its not far from your chordless drill. now if only my dewalt ran sub 9 seconds- :D

:yikes: even sounds futuristic!

Did it blow up at the end?????? The rider had just suffered an untimely bout of incontinence. :yikes:

Electric motor (esp. DC) should be all torque, almost forever- not too much of a drop like an internal combustion. At least until the battery dies, which shouldn't happen on a 1/4 mile. Sorta... Electric motors produce all of their torque at stall and the torque curve drops off as it climbs in RPM... Kinda backwards from an ICE... :yikes: Sweet! I wouldnt mind having an elec sportbike. The new elec engines being developed could give the internal combustion engine a run for the money. Batteries are really the limiting factor... Generally batteries that can source enough current to push those big motors are really heavy... It really depends on the chemistry, but lighter batteries usually either cannot do it... or they can do it, but not without self-destructing... Check out these EV bikes... (http://www.austinev.org/evalbum/type/MTCY/) wonderful thing about that bike is that technically its not far from your chordless drill. now if only my dewalt ran sub 9 seconds- :D Don't laugh... You can race your Dewalt here! (www.powertooldragraces.com)

Hve any of you guys ever gotten into slot cars those things can be fast as hell...:idk:

Hve any of you guys ever gotten into slot cars those things can be fast as hell...:idk: I had some when I was a kid... My ex's dad and little brother had an enormous track set up in their basement... I gave them all of my cars (and two motorcycles) and track to add to it... Their track seriously had to be 500 feet long... It took up an area probably 20'x15', it was insane...

So would that thing be plug n play? {Rant} Ne Ways Fu*K that Sh*t, I wouldnt change ANY internal combustion engine, for an electric, theres no soul in it... A mechanic literally only needs to splice wires and hook it up to a comp or a power outlet or something... wheres the getting dirty part, taking off the head to put in higher cams, using that sweet smelling VP fuel, the sound of the engine roaring to life, not that vaccuum cleaner sh*t. I hate this environmental friendly crap where everything is changing and the future is full of fu*king hippies, now NASCAR's using unleaded fuel, WHY??????:cry: :cry: I wish I was in the 60's. This is MAJOR :wbs: !!!! {end Rant}

'git em CGID! :lol:

Glad to know i'm not the only one that thinks like this.

microwaves dont give food the taste that a coal grill does, but is sure is quick and easy. Still, we break out the ole grill for special occasions and goooooooooood cookin. Like wise i think our transportation future may be... in 3000 years. :idk:

Like wise i think our transportation future may be... in 3000 years. :idk: Cars and bikes back in the day didn't use aluminum, carbon fiber, fuel injection, or computers. Technology will always change things. Electric motors are just a big jump.

Also, when someone refers to back in the day, it was a wednesday.

This is MAJOR :wbs: !!!! {end Rant} It's a little more than splicing wires... And getting dirty? How about re-wrapping the stator for more power, smelling that burnt electronic smell, the hum of a motor pulling enough amperage to kill 100 elephants... I agree though, the ICE is totally cooler... and tree huggin' hippies SUCK.

How about biodeisel? In Holland they have produced a diesel motorcycle. E.V.A. Products has built the Track T-800CDI that runs on diesel or bio-diesel.

This is MAJOR :wbs: !!!! {end Rant} Its a matter of nessicity unfortuantely I love the sound and smell of a high output racing engine as much as the next guy. The beauty in the revolution is performance is were technology is formed. Us racers get to be at the for front of a technological revolution; racing has always been about technological innovation and testing it and perfecting it and then putting it to good practical use for the masses to use. Nascar is simple entertainment there is no reason for them not to use unleaded fuel it amkes no difference as to the quality of the racing. Hippies don't do anything productive, but those that seek to go faster than their compitition will find a way to keep racing cool regardless of enviromental nessicity. You should feel proud to be part of a community that is so innovative, and has the power to truly change things.:rant: :sorry: :cheers:

How about biodeisel? Biodiesel I think is fine because it takes absloutely nothing performance-wise from the engine.

And about the non leaded fuel, well tighter tolerances will be needed in the engine now that it will rev higher which will make for better racing, and consumer products will definitely benefit from this but what I'm getting to is basically: if it aint broke, dont fix it. Its the principle of the thing... electric engines IMHO need not be outside city limits, now as far as racing is concerned, leave the electric engines on the golf carts used to carry the people around to the REAL RACING CARS & MOTORCYCLES... I feel much better rating a car, motorcycle, or whatever comes around in HP and ft./lbs. of torque rather than kW./hrs. or whatever it is they run on. EX. I have a 69 Charger( I WISH!!!) with a 426 HEMI, putting out 420 HP with 422 ft./lbs. of torque, now comes some Energizer Bunny car with an output of 20DD batteries or something, I DONT GET IT!!! The only place I like DD's is on women. jejejejejeje:cheers: I hope u get what I'm trying to say, I'm not trying to bust no bodies balls or anything, like I said it was a rant.:cheers: :cheers:

Rant away! It wont change what is coming. Gas motors are dated and will be obsolete in the near future.

Yeah I get what your saying rejetting a caberator in your back yard is cool, but racing is all about technoligical progress with Nascar being the exception. Racing will never cease to be cool and I don't think you have to worry about electric motors taking over racing anytime soon. I think deisel technology is going to be the near future of innovation. I am not sure where we will be going with motorcycles though...:idk:
