What size are the tires? Are the wheels lightened as well?

Based on the equation: Kinetic Energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity^2, a small difference in the speed of the vehicle requires more energy than a small difference in weight. So just getting to a high speed requires a lot of energy. BTW, power (Watts) = Energy (Joules) / time (seconds).
