  1. ​ @huzcer it's very theoretical because you literally can't run a 600kW full throttle continuously on a go kart 1/you put traction control and the actual power will be divided by 10 2/you do a continuous burnout/drift but because the tires are slipping you have very little resistance/load on the motor, so you end up hitting redline and power cuts 3/if you manage to put down the power after a few seconds at 600kW you hit top speed leta say 250mph, crash and burn, The thing is you never run continuously at full throttle especially when you have huge power and power to weight ratio. 760kW plaid > 100kWh 1400kW nevera > 120kWh 746kW speirling > 60kWh 1500kW evija > 70kWh

  2. looks unnecessrily complicated ? why not just two emotors in the front ( no differential no drivshaft and driveshat tunnel, use the space for the battery), one emotor in the back for full regen power and eAWD. It's also weird (suspect) that the TFG was the first time koeigsegg waas using freevalve technology and now they are offering a V8 engine that is almost 3x as powerful...2x if you include the electric motor. I does look like they are trying to cover the fact that it is not working as well as they hoped....If freevalve was fully functionnal why not use it on a V8 and make absurd power ? (if 2300hp was not absurd enough)

  3. ​ @superfluous9726 even 20hp which is about the power on a highly tuned sur Ron, on a bike would be impossible to use without wheeling, riping the chain, destroying the wheel, etc basically the whole bike/motorcycle has to be designed around the power/torque/speed and wouldn't be very different than current evikes or electric motorcycles.then once you account for the battery weight that is maybe at least 60/70% of the power rain weight, the gain is not that big. then you also have to consider the gear reduction fora 10krpm motor going for instance 50mph top speed, you need around 1:20 gear reduction and the gearing starts to be heavier than the motor itself. there is still potential for high power density motor in ebikes, because if you have "too much" power, you can limit it electronically and have a nice wide flat powerband so that your bike can handle super steep hills with high torque or go flat out 50mph with high rpm, all on a single gear, with a mid drive motor and a heavy duty chain and you are left with a few options for the pedal drive, either a classic wide ratio bicycle chain + derailleur or a more simple generator to do torque sensing and force feedback, and no mechanical link, or no pedal at all and just an electric motorcycle

  4. ​ @Factory400 ideally yes but have you ever seen an engine weight being measured with all it's accessories including ECU wire harness, fuel pump, fuel tank filled with gas, fuel lines, radiator,fan, cooling lines, air box, exhaust, cat etc.... electric wipes the floor of combustion with power density, but gas still wins hands down energy density so overall as long as you need long range/fast charging electric is heavier but electric power density makes it much easier to make muscle/performance versions of road EVs, while maintaining efficiency, weight and reliability constant, at a cheap cost. just slap more motors. this means we are actually going to get properly quick EVs (in the 3-4s) with 500+HP that are also good daily drivers and people can afford like model 3/Y Performance, EV6 GT Ioniq 5 N, Volvo EX30. these are not cheap but still ownership cost is way lower than any AMG/M Power/or even american hellcat/mustang GT

  5. ​ @SuperSpruce won't be quicker than a 100hp go kart, unless your making a drag kart. every race car/kart is designed around a certain amount of horsepower and doing x2 or x5 or x10 on the horsepower is pointless if you don't redesign everything. a 800hp go-kart would look a formula 1/Indy car

  6. ​ @huzcer a couple electric go karts have been made do 0-60 in 1.5s

  7.  @lennyvalentin6485  best case the power comes early (huge torque) and they just flip the bike before they get to any big speed.. 200hp works in a superbike frame with skilled rider. 200hp in a grom...nah
