Doc this is what lowell had ...he was using nimh i think he had 2 times 24 volts and 1 36 volts dd nimh 20 ahDoctorbass said:Official world record is one thing.. and also can cost alot of money.. unless you have sponsor.. wich help alot for those event.
I have read on the guiness record and there is two way to submit a record: having the officials coming to your event at your fee.. I mean apparently you pay their the fee of their trip, hotel, breakfast, etc... as well as the event itself...
Or you can film with the max proof you have WITHOUT the Guiness guys present at your event and than submit everything and pray that they will accept it after the examen.
Luke, this is great to see you wanna push the limit just like me and tat's what we need.. competition always help for that :wink:
On my side.. i dont have the budget you have and i try to stay in the common limit of the E-S are using... X5, normal dh bike no fairing etc....
What i am proud of is that my giant can do very nice work on dirt or any trail as well as on a straight or curved line on the pavenent for top speed or not... and it is stable in every conditions...
My giant is not made for a top speed.. it is made for every kind of ride.. and that's what i think is interesting to have...
I mean this Giant is a kind of all i one ride e-bike.
This is the main reason why i abandonned the last motobike with fairing of 2009... this was not looking like a bicycle so to state that this is a fast electric bicycle is less glorius than a bicycle that people can reconize as a bicycle...
I remember back in 2007 when Lowell was doing like 88km/h with hil LiCo ebike.. I was so impressed and i wanted to do the same on my next ebikes.. BUt not using LiCo as well :lol:

Cobra King 50cc motor sets class speed record at Bonneville Salt Flats
NORTH LIMA, Ohio, (October 18, 2005) ¿ In a recent AMA-sanctioned competition that was a bit of a departure from winning everything imaginable in the world of mini cycle racing, Cobra engineers, in cooperation with Alabama-based Wagner Racing, mounted an American-built Cobra 50cc engine into a custom motorcycle and made two passes at the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats ¿ achieving a two run average speed of nearly 75 miles per hour and breaking the previous land speed record in its class by five mph.
The Cobra-powered bike broke the old AMA 50cc AG (Altered Gasoline) record of 69.633 mph by running a wind-aided 78.399 mph on the first pass, then coming back into a headwind at 71.106 mph ¿ for an official combined time of 74.852.

John in CR said:One thing I think we can all agree on is that ES is the premier ebike site on the web, and it's downright embarrassing that ES has no real record holders...at least not yet. We've got one member kicking butt in electrathons at the local level, and we finally managed to barely beat a stinkbike in the Death Race, but that's it. Come on you speed demons, it's time to get serious.
