Hi Daz,
Darn it!
Where's my previous reply gone?
These packs..
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/23828 ... ctric.htmlSized 22" x 6" x 8". 60V,50AH and 66lbs(?) each. One fitted would be good for 30 miles max.
I could case all 10 to the sides of the e-trike chassis = 30KWH. With eco radial tyres and a reasonable fairing with its low CDA one should expect a good 600miles range max.
They say it can practically out corner a sports car and is more fun than a bike and track car put together.
No legal requirement to wear a helmet. It's bonkers. However, I would tune its handling to be slower for motorway work. Possibly larger wheels too.
The Race boys are using something called money. Money and professionalism usually go hand in hand. When team Agni raced their first bike, the red was from a few cans of dupli-colour from the garage. Now its well gorgeous in silver and blue.
