O.K. here's the scoop on that race on the tube.
Todd's motor is not too small. The only thing I can see that he could have done better (you know, other than laying the GP down) is to remove battery weight. He is carrying around about 4 times more battery weight than he needed for the race. With less weight Todd would have smoked his ass, believe me. I am a certified electrician specializing in DC tractiondrives and motors as well as having built several high performance electric bikes (my last one did 60' from a stand still in 1.7 seconds! 48V class) I know for sure T.K. would have smoked honda boys ass with less battery weight, this is not even a question for anyone of us in the EV world.
Also... Do you know how hard it is to sell electric vehicles to Americans?? He must be doing something right.
