Xtreme Motorsports

5/1/2008 - Extreme Motorsports of California, Inc. the worlds only publicly traded sandcar manufacturer is pleased to announce it has completed the engineering & manufacturing plans for the industry’s first completely electric sandcar.

With the ever rising concerns by California Air Resource Board (CARB) of new emissions laws within the sandcar industry and the growing concern about future Climate Change, Xtreme Motorsports has completed the engineering and production plans for the first “Zero Emissions Sandcar” (ZES). Utilizing the latest in motor & controller technology along with advanced Lithium Ion battery technology, these new Sandcars are the most exciting line of vehicles for the consumer we have put out to date. The ZES technology is offered in both the Sportster and Dune Racer models and is available for immediate reservation.

The advantage of electric motor technology is that the torque is instant from one RPM forward vs. a gas engine that must build up to its torque curve. The Dune Racer shows performance of 0 to 70 miles per hour in about 5 seconds with a top speed of 105 MPH and instant torque of 665 Ft. Pounds, this out-performing a typically Twin Turbo LS1 Engine. It also has a range of up to 200 miles on one charge and can be charged off a standard generator seen on many Toy Haulers today. Additionally the Dune Racer has eliminated the need for a transaxle or transmission through advanced gearing technology. Email for your reservation request today!


Looking for any information available on Del Rey "Sky Lounge" and Kamp King slide-ins for preservation/restoration projects.

They are almost completely silent with the exception of a quiet gear whine like a supercharger but not near as loud. You do hear the sound of the tires on the pavement while driving too. I don't think they are involved with any type of motorcycles, at least i didn't see any.

Search YouTube for "killacycle"

It's an electric drag bike that goes 0 - 60 in less than one second, and runs a the 1/4 mile in 7.824 seconds @ 168 mph...

I really don't care what powers the vehicles I drive in the future...if the performance puts a smile on my face then I'm in.

Not for me, I like the noise in my ears and the smell of good fuel burning out of the exhaust pipe

Xtreme is the reincarnation of the snake oil salesman so I've heard

So those numbers (200 mi) are advertised on a street vehicle with a very low rolling resistance. Throw some sand tires on there and climb some dunes and your amp draw will increase dramatically thus lowering your range. Then you get to go back to camp and fire up your genny for how many hours? Not to mention 2-3k for batteries when it's time for replacement. I just don't see the rational in this application

Oh, and don't forget about the generator running all night to charge the batteries! Oops, there is the carbon....
