Since Rechargeable battery#Types, battery technology has improved a great deal during the 1980s to present, the performance gap between piston-engined & electric-motor vehicles has narrowed. The weight of the battery packs can impact overall performance raising 1/4 mile times. Electric Drag Racing World Records Motorcycles, 1/8 mile In the drag motorcycle class, 48 volt ...
