Smile Acceleration

I wanted to impressions of the acceleration characteristics of this car.

What I have found is if the car is already moving, pressing firmly on the accelerator, will accelerate the car quickly. Plenty of giddy-up for merging on to a highway, or passing.

However if stopped at a light, pressing firmly on the accelerator, will incur a bit of a stumble, before moving. Actually something like move, stumble move. Not bad, but certainly noticeable.

I'm thinking that with the electric motor produces all of its torque at very low rpms, that I should even be able to light up the tires, if I wanted.

Thanks, Ben
