KillaCycle Becomes 1st Electric Vehicle to Hit Quarter Mile in the 7s; What Are YOU Thankful For?
Thursday November 22, 2007
Remember the KillaCycle? The electric drag bike that nearly lived up to its punny name when it collided with a parked minivan?
Rebuilt better, stronger, faster... kinda like the Six Million Dollar Man of motorcycles, the bike was souped up with A123 Systems Nanophosphate battery cells that produce an incredible 500 horsepower, hooked up to beefier 27 x 10 M&H Racemaster tires. The result? A mind blowingly fast, world record setting quarter mile blast to 168 mph in a mere 7.82 seconds.
So, Happy Thanksgiving; if you're down on your luck, just remember that if an electric bike can go from zero to hero, so can you.

Yaaaaaawwwnnnn…….
Pete,
Have you seen the video?
Awright then! I’d only seen the old one where he took off across a parking lot with no helmet on.
That is cool…the sound is quite odd too.
Thanks!
Amazing why cant they make a car that does that.
Is there thought of production and what would the price range be? Very cool.
A car you say? No problem! Bring a dump truck full of money!
