KillaCycle

The KillaCycle is an electrically powered motorcycle purpose-built for drag racing. It was built and is managed by a small motorworks team owned and run by Bill Dubé. For ten years until December 2010 it was the fastest electric motorcycle in the world.[1]

In 2007 it achieved a certain amount of notoriety after a video of its inventor crashing into a minivan while attempting to perform a burn-out was widely circulated on the Internet.[2]
