    Wanna see a fast bike? (0 to 60 in 0.97sec)

    _
    400hp electric bike. Apparently the guy took his ride out for a spin and his throttle jammed

    ouch
    0 to 60 in 0.97sec is clearly quicker than his flex reaction to hit the kill switch

    that is quite the machine

    Throttle control is important.

    Consistency is a good thing....unless you're consistently an idiot.

    Only a fool would ride that machine.

    I want one.
    Anyone who says "It only goes together one way" has no imagination.

    I think that minivan saved his life, If he kept going a little further he would have been crossing at least 4 lanes of heavy traffic, he could have been bouncing around like a pinball...

    D%@# MINIVAN, Who parked in my way!!

    A brain bucket might have hurt a little less?

    The first day I owned a motorcycle, I learned about the finer points of road conditions. Turned sharp, but at slow speed on a gravel road. Once I got the bike back up, I realized I had a lot to learn about bikes.
    Especially burnouts are better left to the pro's. 400 hp on a big slick with a tiny front tire and probably undersized brake as well? Tsk Tsk. Asking for trouble.
    It needs a kill switch like on a wave runner. Keep it on a chain around your neck or arm or leg and if it's pulled out, it kills the power. I bet he designs something like that in there.


    Oh yeah, that gravel road just happened to be at a Drag strip.

    I'm pretty sure he showed the kill switch in his hand before the ride, and if you look on his right wrist while he is on the ground you will see it attached to his wrist. The problem is/was not the switch, but reaction time!

    No greater love can a man have than this, that he give his life for a friend.

    Yeah, that type of kill switch is made to keep the bike from disecting the rider, spinning wheels, chains, exhaust... (After) they wipe out. It should be re-named to "Please don't let this thing Kill me Switch".

    I had one on my atv (banshee).

    You know... I could have swore I saw a guy (sponsor) over at the bike after the crash, rubbing the decals off the bike?

    Now here's the funny part. One of the comments under the video reads: "That's the son of a *#$%& that hit my minivan!"
