Default World's fastest electric drag bike ................

Speed lovers! Come and check out the world’s fastest electric drag bike. It’s taking a break from record smashing to briefly stop at Te Papa Museum in New Zealand

The KillaCycle® is the quickest and most powerful electric motorcycle in the world. Its specs are incredible: 500 horsepower of grunt accelerates it from 0 to 96 kilometres per hour in less than 1 second. Yet the bike is almost completely silent. Imagine that – a silent drag bike!

Wow! Great shots. I'd hate that coming up behind me on the freeway. There seems to be a technical problem in your shots though. All car and bike shows require bikini models, what's going on here?

TFS.

Loving these colour burst photos Bernz - the red against the black looks amazing.

Bernz,

Great shots !

I remember reading about this a little while back . I fly electric powered RC planes and someone posted a link to this . Amazing how far the technology has come ! Even the electric planes rival and in some cases , exceed the gas/glow powered in performance .

Thanks for sharing ,
-John

Wow. My first time to see one not in motion. I like the angle from which the 1st shot was taken.

Thanks gotta be a wild ride...hearing you heartbeat in your ears as your flying down the track !

Good looking photos Benrz... That's not easy getting so much details in crappy lighting. Although the bike is really cool... I'll stick to my Harley... it's loud, alot slower and I can actually turn it LOL.

Thanks for sharing it,

Vin
