A friend took a quick video of my electric bike. I'd already ridden 25km that day so the battery was about half full. When full it'll wheelie on full throttle and I'd have to be careful not to flip it! I hit 58km/h in the video here, but had to stop accelerating as I was running out of road! The motor I used was designed for torque. 120nM of torque in my setup. Top speed: 65km/h on a flat road, 55km/h uphill (any hill!) Range: 50km Cost to recharge: $0.09!
Starling Burgess got it so right with his 1928 design for the 59ft staysail schooner NIÑA. When her present owners decided to build a replica in 2004, the only change was to the construction method - strip plank rather than traditional plank of frame. Burgess's hull and rig design were sensibly faithfully reproduced resulting in one of the most perfect blue water cruisers for her size imaginable.
