See what 990 cells can do! Last run on March 31st 2007 at Firebird speedway in AZ.

This is the fastest and quickest 1/4 mile run of any electric vehicle on the planet! All 60 foot times were less than 1.19 seconds.

This is Bill Dube, not sure if this is his real last name.

Now listen, we like the inovation, we like the bike, the guy is obviously smart. But the guy is a geek and needs to spaz down some before he gets someone hurt.

You can see why on the video at bottom.
                                 
 
KillaCycle is the quickest and most powerful electric motorcycle in the world.
It has over 500 hp and accelerates 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in less than a second!

The secret of KillaCycle? - The batteries!
The powerful A123 Systems nano-phosphate™ battery cells are what makes the KillaCycle go as fast as it does! The same battery cells are found in DeWalt cordless hand tools.

As stated before, we really like the bike and all of the accomplishments, records and such, but the owner is a spaz who is going to hurt or kill someone if he does not calm down.
