FTR Bartow Peace River Hare Scramble All Electric Class

[DonCox]

I have a couple friends that got to Race this Hare Scrambles in an All Electric Class. I was not there, so this is just a collection of the info I got, so please correct things that I may have in error, but I am so proud of the DIY riders for there showing and excited in the fact that we, all Electric E-Bikes, are growing as a force to be reckoned with in the Off Road Motorcycle Community. There were 24 bikes on the start, and there were many Starks in the race, home builts, Remanufactured, and other Electrics from around the world. The race was 4 laps and the fastest lap was on XE4 Yamaha built by Mark Peroni's Company, and ridden by a real good rider Shawn Clark. The total race was 1 hour and 16 minute (4 laps). The XE4 has a quick change battery system built by Mark Peroni's Company XEMX1.com Mark himself finished 8th on another XE4. The second place finisher was Derek Timm (Lithium-King.com) on his home built Suzuki with similar drive train that I build all my electric builds with. I even use many of his parts. He is a very good rider also, and I will include his YouTube of the first 32 minutes of his race here at Peace River. He also has a quick change battery system, ( about 1 minute to change).
In the first 3 laps, Shawn on the XE4 was in the lead all 4 laps, but the Starks were right with him thru the first 3 laps. The XE4 is using a motor built by Mark Peroni at XEMX1.com as well as the quick change battery system (approx. 10sec change) The battery change is a beautiful thing to see. Shawn changed the battery every lap, but he could have squeeked out 2 laps out of one battery, but no need. Throttle one...
Here is the result sheet, and Dereks YouTube of 32 minutes of his race.
