This enterprising fellow I know who hails from Blue Grass, Virginia, took components of several classic Nortons and combined them with modern electrical components to create an all-electric motorcycle. In this short video, he demonstrates the bike for the Virginia Governor's Motorcycle Advisory Council.

  • Brian,

    I'd appreciate a bit of info about the bike.  It's obviously very quick. What's the engine noise?

  • Hi, this is Dale, I took the video and posted for Brian. The noise is from the chain drive. Brian recently had a professional rider take it around the track at mid-Ohio and posted a speed of just over 108 mph.
