wow... that thing launches like a bat out of hell.

that bike sounds nuts!!!!

sick video. the bike was sick and both the m3 and corvette didnt seem to have a good launch. i have no experience, so i wouldnt know how much of a difference a really good launch would make

The answer is none whatsoever. Gas engine dynos start low and creep up to peak torque, then drop off. Electric motors the graph would be a completely flat line from the start of the run to the finish. Full torque at 1rpm and 10,000rpm. Of course electric motors can rev much higher as well, having only one moving part (the comm or the stator) and almost zero internal friction.

For those interested in the bike, check out this burnout gone bad - the owner proved that he should leave the riding to the pros!

You get a flat line at the beginning, but torque falls off at some point due to back emf of the motor increasing with rpm opposing the battery pack voltage. Design for reduced back-emf for high-rpm performance and you lose low-end torque.

Electrics are different, but similar tradeoffs are involved.

As for launch, you don't have to worry about bogging the motor, that's definitely a big benefit!
