Hi Peter,

I didn't know milk float's could be cool until I say yours! 8)

What's the acceleration like with the Netgain motor and how many amps does it pull?

Cheers,

Ian

Cheeky Chris, I could always get 25 mph.
I have not measured the acceleration but it is quite brisk. It pulls a maximum of about 300 amps. My controller is limited to 400 amps I believe and I have a 350 amp main fuse which has never blown.
I can do 30 mph up hill but at 50 mph everything shakes like a jumbo jet taking off cos at that speed I could really do with a higher gear. Its like trying to do 50 mph in a mini in 2nd gear; possible but not a good idea.

:oops: Sorry Peter , just thought I remember in the early days of our e-mails it wasnt good for much more due to battery issues :oops:
Always loved those wheels , must admit I'm not surprised the old girl gets a bit shakey at silly speeds, its a bit sort of brick like in the aero dynamic stakes :wink:

Sounds like this could be a candidate for a drag strip race at some point. Are we going to see it at a northern BVS event soon?
