So i recently got my build up and running. Have about 500 miles on it now. Its a ebay special GM rear hub. 24s2p Lipo. Lyen 12FET controller. its on a 1999 Mongoose NX 8.5 (v brakes ). My max speed hit is 52.9mph. It accelerates very fast. I would say i hit 40mph in under 6 second. climbing the last 10mph to get from 40mph to 50mph takes about 5 more seconds. Ive owend a lot of fast, moddded cars (01 heads/cam/long tubes camaro, 01 supercharged corvette, 94 RX7 with a 427ci V8 in it) and this bike gets me more looks, questions and "wows" than any car i ever owned.
Here is a clip of me following a truck on the highway. 55mph speed limit. I had to get off the throttle at the start as to not run up the trucks ass too much.

These next 2 vids are very careless. We had a hurricane here yesterday so the sides of the roads are covered in sand and sticks. This forced me closer to the traffic than i like to be. ON TOP OF THAT im going against traffic like an absolute noob. I know its dangerous and stupid. The 2nd vid is also very stupid. I almost ran off the road at 40mph. my left hand was holding the camera and handlebars so i couldnt squeeze the front brakes. This forced me to only use the rears which do nothing at 50mph. (old school v-style brakes. worthless). I almost ran off the road as a result.
In this vid you will see a car to my right. He is going faster than me but i eventually catch up and pass, then you can see him pass me when i get off of it. I think i hit 47.8mph here. slight UPHILL.

In this vid i try to read out the speeds as i go. apparently anythign over 40mph couldnt be heard. I hit about 49mph before having to brake for the turn.
49mph readout - near crash
