The electric KillaCycle is coming to Meremere in January!

I struggle to imagine even holding on to the grips.

If only we could have wireless electricity in some simple form that won't fry us with electromagnetic waves, imagine a bike that would never need topping up, no oil changes, nothing, just tyres and maybe brakes, but then if the brakes could be perfected electrically too no worries there either.

The vids at the bottom are a good look. Crash - the "switch" stuck on!

I just read the Waikato Times about it. It develops 500 horsepower, goes 0-100km/h in 1s (yes, 1s) and has a top speed of 274km/h.

It has a quarter mile time of 7.82s. They are going to try and break the NZ record of 7.615s.

It says it cosy them NZ$145k.

Thought the name KillaCycle was a cute play on the electrical frequency measurement of Kilocycle!

Mr Dube was lucky to survive after he crashed it into a parked car at high speed, while giving an impromptu demonstration.

After accellerating for just one meter, it nearly cut the car in half. LOL
