Thinking it's an inefficient, bad system. First off, most drill batteries are crap. It looks almost like the 10s a123 pack they had, which would probably get them their top speed and range.

The brushed motors in most drills are inefficient. I would guess if it had a brushless motor with similar power, it would add 1-2 miles to the range. Not to mention the brushed would wear out very quickly pushing the motor so hard.

Well, easy to bash a product I guess. It's a cool design I just hope no one buys it to figure out it isn't half of what they expected.
