Shooting for 400mph Electric Motocycle

Electric Motorcycles | All About the Electric Motorcycle

Eva Håkansson dreams of building a 400-mph streamliner motorcycle with a twist — it’ll be electric. Who’s to say she can’t do it? She’s already built her own electric street bike, her father is a mechanical genius and her husband is the guy behind Killacycle, the quickest EV on the planet.

But we are getting a little ahead of ourselves. First we have to go to Pikes Peak. By way of Sweden.

Håkansson became immersed in the world of business and environmental science at Malardalen University in Sweden. It was there that she grasped the beauty of electric vehicles. They’re quick, they’re clean and they’re efficient.

Yamaha to develop electric bikes

Yamaha, one of the best-known names in motorcycles, is finally entering the electric bike fray. The company has announced that it will be selling shares in order to raise $812 million to go towards developing low-cost, all-electric motorcycles and "motor-assisted" bicycles.

We've long argued that electric motorbikes make sense - low-emissions, quiet operation, instant torque and hardly any maintenance compared with their gas-guzzling cousins. The sluggish reaction of the established industry players to this e-revolution has created an opportunity for names like Brammo, Vectrix and Zero to try their hand, and now a brand that dares to put the words "electric" and "superbike" in the same sentence.

Charging Forward with Mission Motor’s Electric Superbike

The world’s fastest production electric motorcycle was built in San Francisco’s Dogpatch—an industrial neighborhood bordered by the city’s waterfront. It is an amalgam of drydocks, former steel mills, and factories. Constructed in the 1860s and having largely survived the 1906 earthquake, the zone maintains a smoke-stacked atmosphere of sturdy stone and brick, the streets redolent of coal- and oil-powered commerce.
