I don't consider anything to be "beyond useful range" if it works. Its a hotrod not a commuter.
This setup has a ton of pulls on it, still working perfect.
Well now i don't feel so bad about blowing a few hundred watts here and there on some of my wrong choices of motors or drivetrains for race bikes over time (that turned out to be reliable for many years). -Now that losing 20kw+ in the cells and (admittedly guessing) say 10kw+ in the motor is ok. :lol:
Also, here in OZ im maby not sure what hotrod really means to you but im guessing at present your chasing the max power and acceleration (on tar) like say a drag bike? And if a machine is intended for the drag strip i spose your right, driving the battery to 50% sag and motor to 50% efficiency would yield the outright max few seconds of power. and yea don't get me wrong, i spose for now its a fun game of just maxxing stuff out with no remorse to see what it can do. -its just the warming of the planet that concerns me, cos of the shared space ship thing. :wink:
Something you guys pushing the limits here have helped make clear though is that with just a few mods this bike is possibly capable of racing head to head with ice dirtbikes and winning, motomoto has done a fine job on that motocross track -but just so that folks know;
You really don't need that much power. -not on dirt at least.
As long as its real output that is delivered to the tyre, you can match them for acceleration up to about 85kph as shown here in a vid of a race that i didn't know was about, its from a couple of years back when the joby motored bike was running at just 11kw output and this is a competitors onboard.

With a few of these well priced sur-ron's gathered together, i reckon the organizers of these types of events would give us our own class to battle each other in.
This would have to the the most fun and cheap form of racing ever, that surely has to be the future?
