        that thing sounds like a mix between a nitro and a street bike and a whole lot of fun.

              We have a gocart track here in st. pete that uses all electric carts. they are alot of fun and not too expensive. I think these will run 40+mph in a straight line.

                At my local college, NCSU, they had an EV on display at their open house.

                It was a custom built f1 style car that had probably 200 large nimh cells and two big re-furdbed forklift motors. I am guessing this car easily went 150.

                The batteries look like this:


                The big ones have a 100AH capacity.
