Electric speed demon

Three speed world records in one evening, with an electric car!

What else can I say, but WOW...

And that electric cycle, 0 to 60 in 2 seconds. Crap, that can cause whiplash.. :-)

I know, I almost put that in the post too. That's outstanding. I wonder how many Gs that pressure is.

I cant imagine it will be long before all new vehicles are electric, they will start dominating all the competitive areas soon, check out the electric motocross bikes on youtube too

Yeah...that thing is lethal! Holy crap I would not want to even go near that thing! AMAZING!

Better 'n that, Tommy: it'd probably leave you sitting mid-air as it left your butt in the dirt! :-D I got on a 750 Kawasaki, once, that I had never ridden and it almost bucked me off, when I popped the clutch! Oops! :-/
