    id like a go too, but it looks like the brakes are hayes stroker aces :shock:

    i saw a thing with james may a while ago on one and that had hope brakes, now bearing in mind they were designed for mtbs, how are they gonna stop a 150lbs motorbike???

    I got overtook by a silver haired geriatric on a battery powered bike this morning going up a dead steep hill. I nearly crashed into the hedges laughing.
  • This technology has come on leaps and bounds in recent years.
    Dont know if anyone watched, but they had the first race for electric powered bikes in the TT this year, the TTXGP.
    I was watching it and to be honest, most of the bikes were rubbish, and many didnt even manage a full lap before breaking. But the better built ones were really very impressive. And the sound they make at full tilt is just something else, sounds like something out of Star Wars.

    Listen to the motor at about 1:30. That would be an electric motor running at 14,000rpm
