TTX01, to be released next year, is the worlds first electric powered sports bike,capable of 0-60 on 3.5seconds and reach 125mph,the bike will cost £20,000. What makes this interesting is that under present legislation there is nothing to cover 'electrically driven sports bikes' as they don't exist and at present there is a speed limit of 15mph for electrical 2 wheeled 'bikes' under 40kg weight! Of course the law will change to tackle this one especially regards 'zero emission' being tax exempt!Should be interesting to see Insurance quotes. A debut at the Isle of man TT is to test these bikes round the famous circuit but at present the bike has a recharge rate of around 50 miles using a standard 3 pin plug. The power plant has two high performance electric motors achieving 86Bhp. Since there is no heavy engine requiring a stiff supporting frame the production bike will be made of lighter composite material allowing for a quick responding lightweight frame. We'll all have to wait 'till next years debut to see the outcome of this!Check out these links in the meantime.
