    Don't get that awesome shiver down your spine that a wicked sounding combustion engine gives though

    Looks like a few white lies told though. You don't get energy for nothing. They base the claim of 0.10c based on 0.7 kw/hr of electricity used.

    Thats far enough, if you have a 250 kw engine and you run it for an hour, you'll use 250kw/hrs of power. If you run it for 9 seconds, you use 9/3600 x 250 = 625 watts.

    But when you use an electric engine on the road, for real transport, you use power for a lot longer than 9 seconds.

    Environmentally it would be (like other electric vehicles) a disaster, as most of the worlds electricity is produced thermally from coal and oil.

    But, its still BLOODY FAST !

    Just did read...

    about a small car powered by compressed air. Got about 200k's out of a filling. Has a compressor onboard that U plug in to 230AC and fills the air tanks in 4 hours and off U go again. And it is now in production. Max speed a little over 100K/h.

    So give it a year or two and we might be riding on two wheel air cylinders down the road...

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    250 KPH out of a electric bike, thats crazy!! would seem so quiet. We'll probably be racing them in ten years time!

    This makes the LE velocette that we converted to electric
    motor back in the 1970's look like a flintstone job.
    If we had had those batterys things would have been
    much different.
