Killacycle battery powered drag bike's record-breaking run
Some people will have a hard time accepting a bike without a decent rumble or potatoe soundeffect, but then again some people thought not mixing oil and gas together was a bad idea or water cooled motorcycles were a bad idea.
Someone will figure out how to make these viable one day. Heck! They made the Can-Am viable as an inverted trike. Odder things have happened.

Supposed to run for 60 miles @ 60 mph. 4 hr. re-charge time when plugged into reg. 120v household currant.
What i'd like to know is how long the batteries would last in stop 'n go traffic on a 45 min commute? Also what effect air temp. has on battery life.

Jay Leno's garage website did a thing about the zero. what I like is that the battery is easy to remove and replace, thus you can change them out if you want to trail ride all day, or more importantlly you can replace them with a better battery as the technology improves which keeps the first generation from being worthless in a few years.
