Anyone Drag racing the EV’s? They are getting ridiculous. Draggy times?

[ForceFed86]

Built about 6 now and every time they get faster and faster. Latest is this tiny kids pocket mod razor scooter.
Has an average QS212 5kw 10” hub motor.
Use LIPO RC batteries for super high amp draw and tiny packaging. This one is 117v at 400 amps.
A 961000 Fardriver controller to dial in the power progressively.

Thats about it!

I’m 220’bs and 6’4 so far from the ideal jockey on a mini bike.

On a pretty poor surface this things going a 3.4 sec 0-60 and a 7.5 sec 1/8th mile at 87mph!

Using a Draggy performance meter for accurate data recording.

7.5 sec 1/8th mile at 87mph!

Wow!

 

[Hellion]

I really didn’t know they were doing this but it stands to reason. How long can you go 87mph?

Got any videos that are not first person POV?

Thats cool stuff, but most of us could build 3-4 karts for the price of that hub motor! In my case the number could be much higher!

What ever makes you happy.

Def. can't build 4 Karts that perform anywhere similar. I'd bet good money you couldn't build 1 that'd go 7.50 1/8th mile for less $. With a 220lb rider.

That 10" hub was $550 shipped. So cheaper than any gas 7.50 1/8th motor I'm aware of. The battery is always where the money is! But I'd argue that it wouldn't be any cheaper to build a 7.50 gas setup. And this one is timid as a kitten and can double as a pit bike. where as a 7.50 gas setup is a race only kinda deal and not friendly at all to "cruise" on.

Don't have ano other videos as I'm the only one filming, lol. Have a few pictures.

Basically was a $100 kids bike new in box from market place.



$80 steel swing arm and an idea...

 

[ForceFed86]

Couple others that are more standard mini bike style with mid drive motors. (cheaper).

Still solid 4 sec 0-60 and 80+.

I think you missed the point. Probably cuz of my misleading comment.
What that was ment to say is:
For the most part we are a bunch of cheap fu@@s. We tend to scrounge, fix, repurpose, recycle, re use, anything but buy new. Buy new only whenn all other options have been exhausted.
For that reason the motor you use is expensive from our viewpoint.
Your stuff is cool and will outperform most of our junk, no argument there.
I'm cheap. The rich guys like Denny have no problem droppin big bux on his nex cool ride.
The rest of (ok its just me) do it on the cheap.
No disrespect intended.

I like engines. The noise, the pulse, the concept of something that runs by breathing air and fuel and creating fire... all that stuff. But for the sheer sake of ridiculous, instant power and speed, I have to admit that electric is damn impressive.
