That was a really cool video. Thanks for posting it. I'll bet his rear tire was toast at the end of the race, due to the bike's weight and the motor's torque. I wonder what the other competitors thought of Chip's performance? It should be interesting to see how race organizations handle electric motorcycles when they run against IC motorcycles. I'll bet they get headaches just thinking of how they can fit them into their existing racing categories.
