So you are saying it should have been at the end of the track at the speed of light? The real focus is not the electrons but that the batteries are light enough and have plenty of capacity. This is considering that the major limitation of most electric vehicles was their power to weight and capacity of the batteries. Killacycle is removing that ceiling and becomes the first EV to break into the 7′s.

Comparing the Killacycle’s performance to the other 16 dragbike series of the same event. The killacycle outperformed all but 4 series. http://www.dragbike.com/dbnews/anmviewer.asp?a=3590&z=13 Of those 4, they are .5 sec of competing in 2 series and 1 sec from the topfuelers.

I’m not impressed. Electrons travel close to the speed of light. With all of those electrons, this bike should have been much faster.

Do you mean zapworld.com? When Zap purchased and then discontinued the EMB Lectra motorcycle line, Zap lost an opportunity to exploit a possible growing niche. Now they are just another NEV company with some low power scooters on the side. Hardly worth mentioning in this motorcycle forum.
