My 19 year old son who is in first year at Kingston University studying Motorcycle Engineering has just built and raced an "Alternative Energy" electric drag bike.
Built in "spare" time over the past 6 weeks, to compete at the Alternative Energy event at Santa Pod Raceway yesterday, supported by the University and LiFeBatt batteries, he has built the rolling chassis and helped install the electrics / electronics, then rode it to the fastest "no emmissions" vehicle on the day!
He's been on bikes since about 9 years old, had 4 seasons as a Junior Drag Bike racer, and has run my Top Gas bike to a 10.6 / 124mph as well.
SERIOUSLY proud of him!!
