This year the 3rd TT Zero race will be held again on the Isle of Man. Last year Mark Miller won on the awesome Motoczysz bike, you can see a review video here of the race from last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6dCR5Eht5M Last year Mark Miller averaged just under 100mph around the circuit and this year they will probably brake the 100mph average speed record for electric bikes. This is a new video on YouTube that shows their brand new E1PC bike for the race: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8P5PprLy9w&feature =player_embedded If you have a chance check out the races, I thin they are very interesting. |

its great to see technology applied to something we all love, but as for the future of performance motors, id have to say that if it goes that way, i will put a playing card and clothespin on my spokes to sound better. |

I don't really care too much about how it sounds. "Full torque at 0 RPM and no shifting," though... *grins* If Brammo would ever actually release the Empulse, I'd consider buying one - I could replace 90% of my riding with that bike with range to spare. AND, if I put solar panels on my roof to charge a battery pack that charged the bike at night, I could wheelie past a Prius while out-smugging them. |
