A more relevant test that more people could identify with would be to put the same dollar amount of fuel in each and then do those tests.

Damon,

Why don't you do a little experiment - get a friend/somebody who has the 'same'
motorcycle as yours, fill his tank with the equivalent amount of kw as your
battery pack (don't for get to run his tank/carburetor dry to equalize the total
amount of energy), and see who runs the longest, then the farthest, up a hill
the quickest etc.

It would really be interesting to see the results.

Bill Dube - what is the equivalent amount of gas that your competition runs for
the track compared to the kw that the KillaCycle uses for a run?

Good point :)  What are you driving to work? I put over 1000 miles on my
motorcycle this
summer at a penny a mile.  That is much more cost effective than the ICE SUV I
drove in
today.

No, they don't care about that either since it cost me 40 cents a day to go to
work and it
costs my wife 5 or 6 bucks depending on the price of gas.

It's just new technology and most people are afraid of change. However, it
will eventually be
realized by all.

Yes, but no one cares about kw of energy in gasoline.  They care about how
many gallons
or liters they need and how much it costs.  This is like saying that the
gasoline weighs more
than  electricity.  Most people see it as totally irrelevant. damonTo:

https://www.facebook.com/FullyChargedShow/videos/867139510038966/ It is just
phenomenal. Basically the guy takes 2 mowers, elec and gas, measuresthe
equivalent kw
of energy of the battery pack and puts it into the gas mowerand runs them. The
results
blew me away. The petrol (Robert is English) lastsabout 7 ½ minutes, the elec
lasts 50 min
and 26 secs… efficiency counts. I hope that somebody has the guts to do this
with an
electric vehicle andgas/diesel vehicle… Rush Doughertywww.TucsonEV.com
