HJÓLIÐ:
The KillaCycle is the result of years of effort on the part of Bill Dube’, his sponsors and team members. It is currently the quickest 1/4 mile electric drag bike in the world. Recently driver Scott Pollacheck did a record 8.168 second @ 155.78 MPH run at Firebird Raceway in Arizonia.
The motorcycle is powered by 374 volts of electricity stored in 990 small, but powerful, Lithium Ion cells (batteries) provided by A123 Systems. The cells are connected to provide 7.5kWh of energy storage and are capable of supplying up to 1575 amps. The cells themselves weigh just 161 pounds.The entire battery pack weighs just 180 lbs yet puts out about 390 horsepower.
