Markcycle standup scooter of death!

Postby michaelplogue » Wed Apr 07, 2010 11:34 am

How about a super scary standup using Markcycle's motorcycle hub with a 72V 40AH battery pack (40 mph) or a 96V 20AH pack (60 mph)! :shock: :twisted:

And I see that it's also already on the salts flats. :wink:

All I need now is an instantly inflatable airbag suit to ride it at it's full potential. :D

Actually... a suit that inflates to form an airfoil for full aero... articulated tail to add lift from sidewinds... :lol:

That would certainly be a "Safe" type airofoil solution to any wind resistance problem. :wink:

Ever ridden a Badsey or GoBig scooter? Sort of like that.

Right on the Jackal. That was the first one built.
I think those pictures came from the "2003 Anti-Gravity Races" held in the Marin Headlands, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Here are a few more pictures from that event:
