Re: This is hard to believe.

You mean the amount of torque this electric bike generates, or something else? As far as torques goes, check this electric drag race bike crash out, if you have not seen it before...

yea Sarg, an electric bike able to do that. I would not think that there would be enough power, or torque, but throttle response had me scratching.

Electric motors have tremendous torque.Not so much in the HP department.Consider a simple hand drill.I dont know what the HP ratings on them are,but look at how tiny that motor is.Now think about the electric fan motor in your furnace.Huge size difference.Most furnace blower motors are 1/5-1/3 HP.Now think about that tiny lil motor in your hand drill...and how it likes to snap your wrist off when the hole saw gets just a little crooked.I'll say it again...electric motors have tremendous torque.

If in doubt,check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z8dFlVNrY8&NR=1&feature=endscreen

A good friend of mine was part of this program the last 2 years. He was running the programming for the machine. Got a couple of trips out to the Salt Flats as well. Most impressive.
