Do you have an electric vehicle or an eclectic one? Are you going to ride in the Northwest Vetter Challenge on 6/1/2012?

Still raining here so further testing is postponed for a few more days. I talked with Alan Smith about the gearing and he has 39 and 37 tooth sprockets to try out.
Sendler, I used the GearCommander to check the effect the 33T rear would have and appears it may be feasible ( 6500@70 mph) , particularly if I can reduce the aero drag enough to allow decent acceleration.
best wishes L&S
Ive done a bit of work with electric bikes, but nothing really road worthy. My current project is a one seat tracer like vehicle with a ninja 250r donor. I just started building and I'm documenting progress on the forum. I would like to go electric some day if prices go down.

As for the challenge, I wont have a working vehicle by then, but might ride my buell up there to check it out if its not to far away in Washington.
