Reverse-Trike EV

I'm building a reverse trike with two 15kw 20hp brushless motors with Hall's Effect sensors.
The motors will independently drive the front wheels and will provide limited slip.
It's motors will be mounted forward of the front axle and the battery packs with controllers will be mounted behind the front axle.
The motors will be powered by two 15kw 100volt Lipo battery packs.
Each individual motor will be connected to it's own electronic speed controller.
The controllers are PC programmable for low battery warning, high amp limiter, brake regeneration, soft start and high-speed governor.
I will be using a detachable iPad Mini for the dashboard that will also have remote ignition, GPS locator and Lo-Jack.
The wheels will be carbon fiber 17" Blackstone Black Mambas, as well as the rear single-sided swingarm.
The belly pan and lower body section will be made out of all metal Alulight aluminum foam panels.
It's upper body section will be made out of fiberglass.
The entire EV will weigh in at 800lbs. and have around a 75-100 mile range per charge.
It can take a 100% charge in 20 minutes.
