Watch 'Monster' Tajima Tackle Pikes Peak in His EV
Despite “Monster” Tajima not completing the Pikes Peak Hill Climb this year because of smoke coming out of the motor, he did make a qualifying run that GoPro caught on camera.
Anyone who makes jokes about EVs should watch the footage below. With little more than a whine from the electric motors, Tajima can be seen making his way up the newly-paved course at hair raising speeds.
It’s almost impossible to get a true sense of how fast he was going from watching the video, but seeing his launch and watching how quickly the trees start to whip by can give you a decent idea.
