Killacycle OLD WORLD RECORD 8.168@155MPH. 0-60 Mph 0.9seconds.

See linked video for the NEW ELECTRIC VEHICLE WORLD RECORD by Killacycle 7.82 @ 168 MPH

Now running 1210 A123 M1 Nanophosphate Li-Ion battery cells that produce 500 hp (up from the previous record set with 990 A123 M1 cells and 350 hp)

Only about 15% of the energy from the fuel you put in your tank gets used to move your car down the road or run useful accessories, such as air conditioning. The rest of the energy is lost to engine and driveline inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous. With an Electric Car it costs just $2.00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at $20.00 per 100kms.

  • isn't the bullet train considered an electric vehicle?! if so wouldn't that hold the record?

  • The Bullet train is an EV but it takes a full 3 mins to reach 270 km/h (168 mph).

    The new record for this EV bike is 168 mph in 7.89 sec.

  • 5 mins to charge that's unreal ?

    did you know they had battery switching one hundred years ago?

  • The driver of that bike must have balls!

  • there are different designs, like the cells of lithium plate, but they are pretty light compared to an engine

  • does any body know how much the system on this bike weight? it looks compact enough to fit even a superbike but how much would it wight? i think weight is the only down side i can think of in useing this technology on a motorcycle(one thats not a drag racer)

  • You get that information from where?

    It uses A123 M1 batteries that are rated to 50C i.e you can pull 50x the current the battery is rated for. The discharge curve is basically flat until they get down to minimum voltage at which time the battery management system cuts power to avoid damaging the cells.

    Electricity consumption is 0.6 kWh, worth $0.07 for each run so the 9kw/hr battery pack is enough for theoretically 15 runs for a total cost of $1.00.

  • I meant that as a competitive vehicle that it cant run 155MPH every time as the batteries have a "peak" that wears off.

  • It's a 9kw/hr battery pack, that's enough energy to drive a car over 100kms. Each run uses just a few cents of electricity and they can do multiple runs without recharging.

  • The performance goes down a lot after every run.
