Guest Mike Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Newer/different is not necessarily better. I'm no technophobe but these seem like a bad idea to me. It seems to do away with the synergy between human and machine... TOO much disconnect. Again, just MHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 jonnymrp... Why not go all-out and run electric direct-drive to each wheel? The drive is also the brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonZ Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 And that would allow for regenerative braking that would help the battery life, but don't get me started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Did anyone here see the movie, The World's Fastest Indian, based on a real-life character? When told his brakes were unsafe the protagonist said, "I just want to go fast... I didn't say anything about stopping". (something like that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
