electric cars for kids 8 and up image
Warl�ck77
Sometimes I worry about buying a car with even a small V8, with new technology being explored for optional power. Maybe something will be introduced into automobiles that will push the V8s into oblivion.
Answer
Outlawed? No. Not Made? likelyâ¦. Just when Hot cars like Camaro ZL1 & Shelby Mustang come back with horsepower, the price of gas goes nuts. Result? The days of the high school kid with a muscle car are dead. You will have to pay $40K+ To even sit in a hemi car. The v-8 wonât dissappear. Detuned on power & offered with the new variable valve timing systems like dodge uses. Then for ordinary driving it will run on 4 cyl. and when you floor it, all 8 cylinders kick in. Thus the best of both worlds. High power & good mileage.
The threshold for gas guzzler taxes might be raised, and fuel costs may make them weekend toys and work vehicles only, but no. An 8 cylinder Corvette gets better fuel economy than a 4 cylinder Subaru STI. It just is NOT that simple.
Also, V8s donât get inherently worse fuel economy than 4 or 6 cylinder engines. There is more to it than that, and the big low-end torque of a V8 can actually help fuel economy if paired with really tall gearing. It depends on how the engine is tuned, the mass and aerodynamics of the car itâs in, and the transmission and differentials that it is mated with.
Yes, electric motors WILL push V8s into oblivion. They have even better low-end torque than a V8, so much so that the problem with using them in performance cars (like the Tesla) is that if you want to have multiple gears (most electric cars thus far are direct-drive) you need one hell of a tough transmission. An electric motor can hit a transmission like a sledgehammer making all itâs torque instantly, while a V8 starts off at nothing, itâs comparatively gentle.

How can I make a bicicle for a little boy who is an amputee?
Kate, the
He is 8 years old and was in a horrible car crash a few months ago. I baby-sit him all the time and he is very upset that he can't ride his bike now. I am going to try to turn it into a motorized bike for him, any suggestions on how to do this I would apreciate.
Answer
Buy him a pocketbike. He will be the coolest kid on the streets with one of those. They sell gas which are fast ones for about $300 and electric ones which are a bit slower but still fast for about the same price. Try ebay or check if there is a local store that sells these.
