The front fork looks a little spindly... Title: Re: Another electric racer Post by: pennyrobber on April 26, 2011, 08:04:38 AM The front fork looks a little spindly... The whole front subframe looks spindly. Ti maybe? Title: Re: Another electric racer Post by: WarrenJ on April 26, 2011, 09:09:58 AM Its an interesting progression. Most of the electric bikes started with a proven suspension system and adapted it to electric power while this one built the bike around the electric power perhaps at this point without the best suspension. At some point, the two paths will meet and make this work.
The issue is that watching electric bikes tear around the track is as wrong as a football bat. Whisper quiet and racing motorcycles are two phrases that cannot go together. I was at Road America last year when they ran the electric bikes - they were so quiet, noone knew to watch. |
