| Killacycle battery powered drag bike's record-breaking run | The Killacycle broke records at the AHDRA (All Harley Drag Racing Association) Grand Finale in Las Vegas. Susan, the vidograper, caught driver Scotty Pollacheck's beautiful burn out and 8.76 second quarter-mile run. Carefully watch the end of the track when the powerful A123 M1 batteries burn out one of the overloaded motors, sending sparks onto the track and a ball of glowing plasma high over the right guardrail.

| EVS23: Vectrix vs. KILLACYCLE, A123 12v battery-Tape 3 | New 3-wheel Vectrix compared with Bill Dube's KILLACYCLE; Bill exhibits sanguine good manners when asked if his KILLACYCLE can't maybe fly, too?
A picture of Bill's 9.1 kWh lithium pack, 11 parallel by 110 series cylindrical A123 batteries.
I recall one EV-enemy, one Mr. R. Craven, who used to attend CARB each time ZEV was up for reconsideration; purporting to be a fireman, Mr. Craven used to exclaim that "EVs would burst into flame when in acccidents, and we can't put them out", as I recall. But Bill's KILLACYCLE was in a small encounter with a van, with few ill effects; and of ALL the EV accidents, NOT ONE involves fire.
While Bill's pack is 9.1 kWh, that's the energy equivalent of less than a third of a gallon of gasoline. The real danger is gasoline fires, not batteries!!
