It's astounding how quickly you've posted these 2 things.

I'll wait for your citation

I know you won't post anything but it's worth a try so others can see you for what you are :cry:

Citation about what?

If you mean about the all the libs losing it over nothing.
Well just read this very funny thread.

We-e-e-ell...yes, to a point. But the most exciting, involving and all-out fun car I've driven in the last ~15 years didn't handle, didn't really accelerate and topped out at about 70mph.

Everyone should try a Land Rover Series IIa at some point :cool:

Only if we’re taking a petrol one with non-servo brakes and no synchromesh in the lower gears.

Imagine dropping another Twitter Files during an event in Congress that hasn't been seen in 100 years :cry:

Every Twitter files drop has been more inconsequential than the last. Eventually we'll get to one where the 'big reveal' is that Adam Schiff couldn't log in for half an hour, and phoned Jack Dorsey to complain.

:p

Lovely vehicles to have on a farm where you have 100 yards to stop and 2 acres to turn. As a works runaround that was used to ferry goods to/from local suppliers and where the old duffer who held the key for it never told first time users about the brakes, not so much.

Almost splattered a kid on a BMX bike in Stevenage Old Town as we both assumed that I could stop from 20 mph in less than the length of a tennis court only to find that I couldn’t. If the lad hadn’t jumped back onto the pavement, it would have got messy. As you’ll know, swerving isn’t an option in a IIa.

You do need a vehicle to be able to do more than the speed limit so that it can cruise at your country’s motorway speed limit without the engine revving like an F1 car.

Not really.

You could have acceleration gears and cruising gear(s), you know like when many cars would hit a higher speed in say 3rd than top since top was often overdrive.
 
Terminal_Boy said:
The same principle applies. You want it to be geared or have a transmission system so that the motors aren’t spinning their little coils off at cruising speed.

Are you aware that an electric motor, specifically brushless/induction motors as used in motor vehicles are frictionless, the only part that will wear out on a motor are its bearings.

electric motors are also meant to spin at high RPM. Most of the motors I use have a Kv rating between 1500 and 21000. An EV motor like that found in a Tesla model S has a Kv of around 30 and are built to work and maintain an RPM of roughly 12,000.

Guessing the gearing on those 2 vehicles is more to do with motor RPM limiting, but rather more to do with transfering the colossal amount of torque to the wheels without shredding the tyres.

Or it could be because motor torque for electric vehicles tends to spike quickly and taper off rapidly resulting in high acceleration but low top end speeds, by shifting the gear ratio you can produce more speed, but less torque at lower RPM.

OMG ...just look at any thread that is about the US or a American and you will see all the looney left
come out like it's summer.

Take this thread. All the lefties are angry with someone they don't know and a company they don't own, in a country they don't live.

The lefties always do this in nearly thread...except if the bad guy is black.
Then you won't see them post there what so ever. Because it against their doctrine.

But they all say the same thing.
To lazy to look up facts ect ect.
