It seems like more and more electric bike concepts are poping up every day. A couple of, vintage sport bike-based examples made news recently.Top - This bike is a prototype for the Isle of Man's newly proposed "green challenge" the TTXGP. It's based off an old GSX-R and uses two electric motors generating 86hp. The bike is capable of doing 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 105mph.
Bottom - Eva Hakansson, member of the KillaCycle drag bike team, rides around her creation - the ElectroCat. The bike is based off of a 125cc two stroke Cagiva. In place of the gas engine there is a DC motor with lithium ion batteries that produce 7.5kw (about 10hp). The ElectroCat tops out at 60mph and will go about 50 miles on a charge.
