Yes, I wanted to name the bike something cunning and racy, but after riding this beast, I had to go with Jr. Brute, cuz that is the best description I can give. Just watch the videos you will see what I mean. This bike is a blast to ride and the two speed gives you a rocket launch gear, with an overdrive gear that will take my 190 lbs to 40 mph quicker than any 150 cc scooter that I have ever ridden. The low bike is soo stable at any speed it makes you want to speed everywhere and race cars. Thud really hooked this whole thing up, all I had to do was add batteries when it arrived and poof, I'm out on the streets going faster than I have ever gone under electric power. My Death Race bike was good for about 32 mph, and never really worked right, the Jr Brute is bullet proof in comparison. I've been able to beat on this thing for 3 days now and the only grinding from the tranny is me failing to engage the gearshift correctly. Actually, that's my only complaint, I would setup the shifter to be in low gear and then push forward for high gear. I'm sure Thud has a remedy for this,I have just been riding it, charging batts, and riding it some more.
The next phase is to get all my batteries with the same connectors on it (in the mail as we speak) and take the Jr Brute to some local parking lots to get a feel for the handling. I highly suggest these Pirreli's, dang good tires for the price, much stiffer sidewalls than the Hookworms ( which need a very wide rim) but they are a bit harsh. Which leads me to want a full susser for everyday comfort. But, as Thud says, this thing is made for a single porpoise, to go fast in the twisties! So bring on the gassers in two weeks at Willow Springs!!
Here is a few videos I made, shows the power this thing has and the lack of skills I have at holding a mono. Enjoy

Yeah, I'm wearing my GF white sunglasses and I got a faux hawk. :lol:

Damn GoPro picks of slight wind noise when out of it's protective case
So what do you guys think? Will it win the race? I've never scraped a knee, but i might have to on this Brute. 8)
EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
