Only 5 seconds but what a mean machine. I like to tame my cars but this one just had a little too much power so I pulled off b4 the end of the track. 64 MPH feels like 100mph in this crazy machine. All we did is stuck 96 volts up it! www.youtube.com/user/millecar?feature=mhw4 |

Looks good, but I'll happily take it on at the MEV trackday.
Serioulsy, how much would it cost to get on the road?, and can I, or more specifically miss mattsmev (12 years old and quite light) use it on the road, say 4 miles a day to school and back? I bet she would get some interest from the science teachers
Well done
Mattsmev

It is a very fast machine. Not for the faint hearted or non experienced driver. You could build one for about £1500 if your carefull. Maybe you should build one for yourself and give your car to Miss Matt. She would be much safer driving that. No No not the Rocket please! I meant your tin top.
Top speed on the Etrike is 65mph. On a tight course cars can't keep up with it as this thing has a centre of gravity below the axles. I proved that on the Haynes museum test track.
Throw the gauntlet down if you dare!
More to the point, build one quick, in time for our track day, that would be fun and fare. ICE v EV not so fare, and could be embarassing for you. Or me at the mo as I daren't go flat out!
