With 145 H.P. at the rear wheel & with the extended wheel base, it’s a rocket ship with incredible acceleration. The 180 rear really hooks up and allows for power wheelies under hard acceleration. It’s comfortable to ride, handles great and stops on a dime and is such a blast to ride. This was my 1st build, # 2 is almost finished and # 3 is in the planning stages, just having a great time!
