Results from numerical calculations of the energy gain, by a single electron injected sideways into the focal point of a tightly focused laser beat wave, are presented and discussed. Maximum gain, of a few GeV is demonstrated, from the beat structure of two beams of present-day intensity. All results are obtained from solving the relativistic equations of motion numerically.
