Some indivuduals claim the lack of torque on the sur-ron(and the talks about overheating a sur-ron), the purpose of the video was to compare it to regular hub-builds. This is what I had on my hands. All three bikes have about same power ~6kW, just a simple test on what would happen. For me it was interesting to compare - same power, same terms. Dont see why you would be surpised about it.
As to running start, same conditions need to be applied. I previously did a drag test video against same hub-bike on flat, again on equal terms.
Also the reason of why I start at zero speed is because IF you run in this kind of terrain you have to start from zero sometimes(also impossible to find a runing start if you in in the middle of nowhere), again to show that sur-ron can handle it. If you look closely, I did cheat at 1:20 but a running start did not help, the bike stalled.
Johns comment is what it is, can't do much about it. Unless I build a clownbike with a tiny motor at the rear and big upfront, we dont have much choice out there. Have you guys seen a factory that actually build motors with a 24" big stator?
