Killacycle electrocutes its own quarter mile record Posted Image Its been a mixed year for the A123-sponsored Killacycle crew. On one hand, they’ve been involved with bringing an electric delivery truck to market and that’s cool. On the racing hand, well, there hasn’t been much to report. Although entered in the TTXGP, they were a disappointing no-show. An expected assault on a land speed record also didn’t materialize. Even their racing bread and butter, the record-owning quarter-mile drag machine, had been letting them down despite (or because of) having secret A123 skunkworks cells installed. Letting them down, that is, until now. On Saturday they re-visited the thin air of the Bandimere Speedway that had provided the backdrop for last year’s record breaking run and, with Scotty Pollacheck in the saddle of the rocket, raised the bar yet again. The National Electric Drag Racing (NEDRA) record run is now 7.864 @ 169 mph. Yes, that’s less than a tenth of a second quicker than the previous mark, but times at these events tend to be sliced rather thinly. It may be of some interest that electric motorcycle records were set in both lanes. Killacycle crew member Eva Håkansson’s ElectroCat is now not only the Swedish conversion we’ve ever seen but officially also the quickest 48-volt bike in the eighth of a mile. Perhaps not as impressive as the Zilla-equipped Killa but it’s street legal and that ought to count for something. CHECK OUT THE 2 VIDEOS IN THE FOLLOWING POSTS Edited by obxbiker, Thursday, 1.

Two new Electric Vehicle World Records in one Run! Here is some video of the Killacycle and The ElectroCat. The Killacycle is the electric motorcycle that I designed and built the Battery Management System for. Below is some text that bike owner, Bill Dube' wrote describing the event: The KillaCycle has done it again. We broke the _overall_ NEDRA record for electric's in the 1/4 mile. The KillaCycle is the very fastest and quickest EV of any sort in the 1/4 mile. It was a beautiful day at Bandimere Speedway and, as always, the track conditions were perfect. The A123Systems battery propelled us into the recordbooks once again. A123Systems stock raced ahead of the pack on the NASDAQ on Thursday, and their batteries put us _farther_ ahead of the pack today. I believe we posted the lowest ET (best time) for any vehicle at the track today at Bandimere. There was a very well-attended bracket race going on, and I think the best ET of any of these powerful- purpose-built interal combustion vehciles was in the low 8's. In the left lane is Eva Hakansson on her ElectroCat, 100% street-legal in both the USA and Sweden, set the open NEDRA record for a 48 volt street-legal motorcycle; 13.249 @ 52.97 MPH. (She selected the 1/8th mile record, even though her 1/4 mile time was also new record.) September 27, 2009 |
