Maybe Polaris will start thinking about Brammo drivetrains in a Slingshot :)

I would say Lithium batteries are just as likely if not more likely to go up in flames like this.

That was quite an explosion.  :o Very impressive. It just goes to show you that any vehicle powered by something other than empty calories can explode.   :)

Wow! Not much left after that fire!
I wonder what kind of crash protection that simple frame provides...
