We started from 30mph and 40mph, till no more than 80mph. At those speeds, I'll be going through gears 1 2 and 3. The 1M can only start from gear 2 at 30mph due to insufficient traction when we tested in winter. But we'll try again from gear 1 this time round. I'll do a video to get better clarity. Cheers.
