The switching of the battery connections on the motors from series to parallel, mid-track, is kinda trick.
Total of 990 - A123 Systems high-power M1 Li-Ion cells
1575 amps @75 Celsius
374 volts
300 kW peak, (~400 HP)
162 lbs of A123 Systems M1 cells
~180 lbs total battery pack weight, with interconnects and battery management system electronics
Total bike weight (without rider) 619 lbs
Best ET = 8.168
Best Speed = 156.77 MPH
