Electric Superbike

Not the ugly duckling From Wired: British entrepreneur Azhar Hussain doesn't believe going fast and going green are mutually exclusive.

The businessman has developed an all-electric race-ready motorcycle capable of swift acceleration and remarkable velocity, and he'll showcase it at the zero-emissions alt-fuel grand prix he's hosting in June. Hussain hopes his TTX machine will do for sport bikes what Tesla Motors has done for sports cars.

Zero to 60 in 3.8 seconds, and 135 mph on an electric bike that'll run for up to 40 miles driven carefully.

A rather depressing range. Looks cooler than the Kilo-cycle.

My Sunday afternoon rides were almost always more than 40 miles. Most of those were driven spiritedly.
