It is funny how this guy knows all the performance data of its drag electric motorcycle, but when it comes to doing a burnout – which is something ordinary for somebody who races on a straight line – it blows us away and ends up going to the hospital unconscious. I’d rather not see this, but it is a good lesson for all of you out there who think that electric motorcycles aren’t as powerful as the ones fed with petrol.
It is nice to see the sponsors on that cap, but wouldn’t a helmet do any better?
It seems that being environmentally friendly doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to give up to all of those fun weekend incursions on the drag track (even though the one in this case is made of dirt).
Electric engines may not offer the same grunt as the ones fueled by methanol do, but it seems that they get the job done and participants open the throttle to the maximum lap after lap and there is great response to the strong request even though you may have to help the bike with your foot from time to time.
A dragster bike, created in Germany, was recently introduced and it says pure innovation. The idea is simple but the project involved a twelve-year job. > More
The KillaCycle is currently the fastest electric drag motorcycle in the world. It can go from 0-60MPH in 1.4 seconds and tops out the quarter mile in 8.7 seconds @ 145MPH! Now that’s fast. And best of all, it’s nearly silent.
The bike relies on 880 Lithium Ion batteries, producing a total of 374V at 1350A, for a total of about 350HP. The batteries are made by A123 Systems and use the latest in high performance battery technology. The secret to the A123 batteries is an active material particle size that’s much smaller than first generation Lithium Ion technologies. This results in a battery that has much faster kinetics, a higher power output, lower impedance and a wide temperature range.
