I wasn't wearing a helmet, because we did not intend the bike = to even move! =0A

We were spinning the tire in soapy water. The tire= unexpectantly =0Agripped, (water ran out?) and launched the bike. I couldn= 't get it shut down as =0Aquickly as I would have liked. I had to release t= he front brake to fully untwist =0Athe throttle. I then managed to slow it = down to about 20 mph.

The =0Apositive message here is that when we = crunched the battery pack, NOTHING =0Ahappened. No smoke. No flames. Not ev= en sparks. Not only are these cells more =0Apowerful, they are the safest p= ossible for automobiles.

Also, there was =0ANO ONE in front of the = bike or in the possible trajectory of the bike.
