Interesting! Must feel really strange having only one forward gear...

Sounds really strange - like a suped-up milk float! I'm sure they're not but it sounds like the tyres are catching on the bodywork.

looks like the end of the combustion engine is getting ever closer... the only reason it's still around is so manufacturers can rip people off with parts, servicing etc....

Quite impressive, but without the noise of a proper engine, there's just nothing there for me

And besides, it probably needed charging for two days after doing one lap
