If it's not a racing 'secret,' what ball park are you in with regard to gearing? I would guess you make changes by swapping the front or motor sprocket as it would be much easier than changing the...

Did you find out what was causing the tire problem?

Those look like they would be much easier to use as long as they are properly balanced. I imagine braking with two levers on two wheels might get a bit hairy esp. panic braking in a sharp corner...

I would be interested in learning how you decided on that particular motor for this build. I remember that you said that "BAT" used a 1 hp Scott motor in his. How does the Briggs & Stratton motor...

Looking at the examples you have shown and the fact...

Sounds like a great project and one I will watch with interest. I was involved in a high-school solar-electric car project some years ago with my daughter, but these were small, remote controlled...
