KillaCycle - New World Record !!!!!!!!!

[hatasato01]

Electric Oh MY  WOW!

[devilpyro420]

sounds like a podracer!!! nice sound

[salva68199]

Galileo!!!!!!!!!!

[darkpassenger01]

Why does Tron come to mind LOL

[1rad58]

seems peacefull, untill it disapears before you blink

[bikr1975]

just curious, is it possible to use large capacitors instead of heavy batteries to power the bike?? i know that capacitors are very light and can provide a massive burst of power just enough to get him to the end of the track? nice video though. does the bike use modified brushless motors?

[NewECus]

@bikr1975 capacitors like to discharge their energy all at once.

[texas044]

thats almost erie,I could'nt here the cam or smell the fuel.

[codystafford]

@texas044

Yeah you just hear foot steps and grunts. Odd

[cybertronx1701]

Motor Engine = Primitive, Electric Engine far away better in acceleration (need more technologie for now) but the rotation speed is unlimited, you can run an electric motor over 50 000rpm during 24h without problem or overheat, try a gas motor over 10 000rpm for 24h

[wertheroriginal]

Put some cigarette packs in the spokes for that internal combustion sound.

[turbosaleen347]

What is the cost to build one?.. It has to be more reliable than a turbo bike.. Most big bikes like that have to be gone threw after every pass.. I want one..:)

[stunter956]

haha its so wierd not hearing the engine sounds lol just a peacfull drag day lol

[coleandrobert]

jeff bridges would have killed for this in Tron

[sndd0138]

everyone shhhhhhhhhh.... i want to hear the motor rip shit up!!

[inagod]

this is the future,like it or not.

[havyelprincipe]

thats the sound of my cordless drill but with wheels

[growingup15]

DAMN!

[Fotoman57]

That's fast. But just not the same without the sound of an engine.

[SuperMegaFart]

@Fotoman57 Eventually people will forget what combustion engines sound like and it wont be a problem.

[arachn1dinshoe]

WOW!!!!

[NearTheLimits]

No sound, no noise, just run as hell.

[judoisoww]

is it just me or this thing always exploding it's motors?

[ROMEO1O1]

No more gas..... Finally... Just wonder the amount of miles per charge....

[guitarstar8675]

great thing about an electric.... 0-100% throttle is instant, unlike regular engines.

[ido66]

OMFG !! That was really fukin fast ! :)))

[vxAREKxv]

Yes that is Future !! bye bye disel fuel rocefellers ;-)

[igor200996]

eu queros que vcs vejao o videos do meu amigos os INSPIR4DOS

vejao vcs nao vai repende.

[sjhall007]

wow that was an electric bike ???????????????

[youtubasoarus]

Very eerie silence to it. But so awesome.

[GenericAuthenticity]

Whoa..the torque on that baby was beast!!

[kawarandy]

does it have a twist gashandle or just a button? ^^

[Jankiz007]

@kawarandy I'd like to know too :)

[andoctors]

love it!!! ELECTRICITY IS FUTURE!!! :D

[yasafusa]

Hardly, it's been around much longer than combustion engines.. and... electric motor powered vehicles had a better early start in the 1830's than the internal combustion engines of the late 1800's

[I3igTasty]

thats the new generation of racing nice job

[Furyan117]

Id love to have this bike...just driving it around...and some douche stops beside u and laughs,then u just go to 160mph in an electric vehicle XD

[bonecrime]

Why would someone laugh at you when you're riding an obvious drag bike? And yo probably can't drive very far on a charge. I'm betting they don't use more batteries than they need to, to save weight.

[itbeshowinlikeamotha]

@Furyan117 Why would you be driving a drag bike around?

[inagod]

the high altitude doesn't slow this bike down,unlike the normally aspirated vehicles,so 1 for the electrics

[Jim1457a]

the silence is golden... even a little creepy.

I love it, congrats Mr Dube.

[DanFrederiksen]

it's sobering. I like it

[cassieNO1fan]

I'm missing the noize

[darkeyce02]

so silent

[deucenor]

This is awesome, batteries (should) kick ass :-)

[animal100000]

If I was the camera man i would of done some engine noise effects......

[casemodder89]

i like when things go bad with these A123 batteries :p xD

[UnibrowJackIII]

too quiet

[lowdowncuzz07]

wtf THATS HOT

[Blauweraaf]

impressive, but the info-text is wrong. 168 mph is not that fast, TGV(also electric) has hit 574kph/350 mph.

[TheCollegiate]

but the tgv has no internal power like the killacycle. The TGV uses overhead power.

[Blauweraaf]

but it says 'quickest electric vehicle of any kind' don't tell me TGV isn't an electric vehicle.

[Havocdk]

Its the quickest eletric vehicle on a 1/4mile. It doesnt say anything about top speed. I'll bet ya the bike can easily go over 168mph, if he did a run on a airstrip or sumthin like that.

[nipponbaka]

yes but the TGV doesnt get too 168mph in under 8 seconds

[jnjoblon]

Wow impressive... so weird not hearing the rumble of an engine just before the start though.

[super6plx]

DUDE! this is an electric motor, I have to keep telling myself that xD sweet!

Imagine putting that on a pushbike that belongs to a 6 year old! LMFAO.

"Yay, a motorbike! thanks daddy!"

-touch-

ZOOOM!! xD

[indiasrainbow]

one camera???

[thepainbob666]

how quiet.

[Lotum4n]

167.99 still not as fast as a 1000 hp nitro Harley that runs 217 mph in the 1/4 .

This bike would get its ass handed to him running against a real bike I say bring it on Biatch nothing beats top fuel nothing .

Ok i probably pissed off a few nerds out there lets hear the come back ...whos the first nerd ? : )

[psychocycledad]

Harleys blow

[toho123]

Your wife thinks you're too fat.

[scrivtwin2]

if things go the way they are going it might not be long before the electric catches up and surpasses the speed and et of a nitro harley. doesnt sound like brushless technology has hit full scale yet. when and if it does look out

[21nibby21]

my buddy geoff pollard just ran 6.04sec at 232.11mph the other day. sorry dude but that Harley's got nothing

[fatoni698]

Harley's are for fat old men and their fat ugly wives.

[andrea6x6x6]

americani...non ne capite na mazza di moto!

[MrAlzidex]

This is almost a year ago too, wonder what the new versions are capable of ?!

[drivin98]

They're running this weekend in Portland at the Wayland Invitational

[blown4six]

It just doesn't seem right to not hear a huge roar from that bike and go that fast...

[lREVENGE]

it was water on the track but but, we got a NEW WORLD RECORD and i love to see this motorcycle :X it's so FAST :X i love it's burnout aswell !!

[areodynamic1]

at 1:10 it sounds sikk!!! like a starwards pod racer... and btw you may think its easy to drive one of these... you have to balance going too slow and ripping the tires off your bike in a second... the killacycle's wheels spun 104 times in this video... its insanely fast but too fast for grip.

[starchaser28]

like being shot off the front of an aircraft carrier!

[palehorse864]

Sounds like Tron.

[kitoace]

i aint a fan of drag bikes but WOW i was so surprised i laughed so hard it was so fucking cool

[pyrolyte]

1:10 This is the new sound of fast.

[strosse]

@pyrolyte sounds like forgiveness to me. screaming and then silence.

[jsommerlad]

the lack of sound is a strange thing to find at a drag track

[sakeynes]

Wow...

[salatetis]

1:15 Sounds like a Star wars pod racer!

[TechnexLOL]

Lol! It does hahaha!

[neoskipouros]

what a sound! :O HOLY SH!T

[proverb311031]

that must feel like he is flying in a jet plane at high speed?

[dgk990]

nothing compared to top fuel dragsters.

[mitsaras68]

this sounds like a f**** vaccum cleaner! but it rocks!

[thetechnician22]

Are you guys going to use DC to 3 phase AC controller with brushless motors in the future?

[bizzle420]

This makes me wet.

[rtsoccerplayer]

lol the sound it made when it took of startled me

[proverb311031]

That is the sound of pure torgue when you don't get a good grip on the road! He is lucky he did not rip the tire in half!

[caiojaka]

OMFG

[JRCrowley]

Sweet, very sweet! I'm liking it. 5 stars.

[chevronb191972]

Engineering at it's best. Well done guys.

[amilliondead]

Wow this is awesome. The lack of engine noise really allows the mind to comprehend the scary amounts of power that are on tap. And the noise when it pulled away...that was something else!

[Sebastian198004]

1) whoah! 2) Keep up the good job =)

[Egor109]

Сколько там на табло ?

[MrAlzidex]

На табло было с указанием времени и скорости. 7.82 секунды. Скорость 168mph

[Diablorosa]

Wow man f::king sweet. What is the weight? Any clips without the body work?

[awaken69]

awesome!!

[killacycle]

In Pomona, we ran a 7.825 and then a 7.991. Since they were slightly more than 1% apart, the slower of the two becomes the official record.

We are working on three fronts:

1) We have a sponsor building a 500 HP AC drive.

2) We have much more powerful cells coming soon from A123Systems.

3) We have more trick up our sleeves to squeeze more performance out of the DC motors.

Bill D.

[lutach]

Bill Dube,

First of all, congratulations. Like I said before you can go faster, specially when you and your team are out there setting records like this. So, now you finally found a nice AC motor I see? Why did you wait until now and why only 500HP? There's a company out there that makes a nice 700HP+ AC motor you know. What would the guys who said all those nice things about the DC say now. Keep the records coming, I love electric vehicles of all shapes and sizes.

Regards.

[spewmister]

What motor do you use on that?

[DanFrederiksen]

who is the motor sponsor? rasertech?

[EETechs]

The motors used are the run of the mill wound field brushed DC motor called a series-wound motor. Two in this case... They have not went to AC induction yet.

[tarsman013]

@killacycle who is the motor sponsor... looking for a good electric motor for a college project and if they are good enough for you than they easily meet my standards :-)

[asearchie]

Was the 7.82@168mph done at Pomona on Nov 10, 2007 not official?

What will it take to shave another 3/10ths of a second of the 7.8x times like the improvment from the 8.21@155mph in March 07 at Firebird speedway in AZ to the 7.82@168mph done 7 months later at Pomona?

Don't get me wrong, I really respect the work these guys are doing to advance the state of the art. A gas head friend of mine said "that's the future", after we watched the previous two best times!
