Kents Electric bike is faster...

The clock said 196 mph . Where will he race it at an LSR event ?

Re: the electric bike -the Killah Cylce has run 174 in the 1/4 (with one of Kent's fairings, I believe) but not the dubious 196.

Think I'm soundin' like Franklin. . . G' Night!

Kents electric Land Speed bike is still a faster LSR machine and has proved it already.

thanks John... not yet but well get there.... found out last week that we left power to one of the amphonal pins off so the controller went into default at "HALF" power.... that kinda explains the 125mph... holy crap this thing is gonna be stupid next year   i kinda want to see the jet bike make a pass... mike have ya talked to denis or the USAFRA guys yet? maybe you can make a time only pass.... if you can get it wheel driven you can run SCTA

Kent you are wrong...

Your bike is a proven Land Speed Racing machine and has set a record in every time down the course   The electric drag bike is not a LSR bike (at this time) and the Jet bike has not made a pass on any LSR track at this time so yours is still the faster LSR vehicle at this time...

What will you need to run in order to properly charge your bike with between rounds..I am curious..

Please supply the weight and thrust figures that lead you to believe the 196 mph by the jet bike is "dubious."

Ratcliff,

He was stating that the Killacycle had not run the 196mph speed....
