Even though electric motors have torque at low RPM and they don't "need" a transmission, you waste less power/energy with the proper transmission in an electric vehicle.

200mph+ on regular old roads, every year is faster than the last. I just don't see how someone can control a machine going that fast, I think in the Hills it's like 235+.
They say the houses shake when they go by. There are certainly better clips than this one, but I was having a hard time imbedding. They usually don't show the crashes, which is fine in my book. I respect these men deeply being a longtime cyclist myself (I rarely go over 60 mph, lol)
Makes one think how and where they practice without killing themselves to get there. It is still awesome

What comments about your "english"???
I was simply pointing out "transmissions" are NOT required in electric vehicles and that coolant "fluids" aren't required in drag bikes that only run for 5 or 10 seconds.

A bike that accelerates that fast should have a thumb-button operated throttle. If you're pulling heavy g's with a roll throttle you're a little bit screwed if you need to get off of it fast.
