New Top Speed Set (Downhill) 60 mph

I knew this motor could do it... it was on a long gradual downhill a few miles from my house.

The bike in the video is homemade and looks like this:

...I'm using a few more NiCads (the gray tubes) but otherwise it's roughly the same bike.

I'm nearing 6,500 miles on the bike overall... it has been a good build.

(built in the summer of 2006)

My avatar is of my next project, which is not yet operational.

The motor is only a 500 Watt Unite, but I've done a complete Rewind of the motor and you can read about it here:
