Hi Folks,
We took the opportunity to run our five year old hand built E Tek Equiped pedal trike at the Portland International Speedway, for the Worlds Fastest Electric Bicycle record. We are sending information in to the Guinness Book of records this week.
This Trike is Running on 500 amps of juice coming out of 48 volts, of Optima spiral cell yellow tops. 24,000 watts of power propelled me Zero to just over 70 MPH, on a 1/8th drag race track at the E power challenge this Memorial day weekend. It was great fun to have a nice and smooth closed course track to race on, thanks to the HPV guys in Portland. I have been running this trike around for the last five years, at about 20 miles an hour, getting a 40 mile run per charge, but this was awesome to be able to allow it's full potential to pour out on the track! I hope to see some more machines out there next year for the unrestricted E bike Drag racing... :lol:
Here is a photo before the race, as we checked on the Equipment, and made sure everything was a go...
