The Quickest Totally Electric Motorcycle

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

This performance was all about showing off his product, the quickest electric motorcycle in the world. What are the odds of a catastrophe where several things must go wrong...all at the same time. Fortunately for the owner of the bike, he was only bruised up a bit and that sort of makes it funny. I encourage you to read the article below the video to get the summation of what was going on.

Here are some things to consider...

No helmet

Inexperienced

Bad location

Stuck throttle

All of the above resulted in a "OH CRAP!" event. "OH CRAP" is probably something along the line of what he was thinking just prior to hitting the car ???

I would hope that he would subsequently design and build some logic into the computer so that it will shut down the motor and slowly apply the brakes when the "operator" decides to do something that is "not logical" or, simply put, "stupid."

Final thought....

"Think" before you decide to show off your Nomad.
