Just what we need on the road - cars and motorcycles like this "killer cycle" - i hope they all sign the back of their licences to donate their organs.

tesla was going for this way back in 1930ish and doing 90mph while others only hit 25 - 30... Like he said when referring to einstien and the banking industry etc,(the status quo), "the future belongs to me" Its coming true.

This is a technology demonstrator. No manufacturer could ever sustain the liability of selling something like that for use on any public road.

The Navy has been doing this with a much higher mass for years. 0 to 60 on a catapult launch in 4/10 of a second.

OK…it makes no difference to me how fast they go but….I think they are wrong about the MPH. Checking their website they say as of Nov 11 the best ever 60 ft time was 1.14 seconds. 60/ 1.14 = 52.63 ft in 1 second. 1 hour has 3600 seconds 1 mile 5280 ft. Distance traveled in 1 hr would be 52.63’ x 3,600 seconds or….189468 ft. MPH would then be 189,468 / 5,280 or 35.88 MPH…not 60 MPH. No math wizard here but I think I have it right…please correct me if I am wrong…will not hurt my feelings. Watching the video and counting 1 mississippi... the 36 MPH seems a lot more reasonable Butch
