Electric Motorbike Powered Entirely By Lithium Ion Batteries Breaks Speed Record
An Electric Motorbike powered entirely by lithium ion batteries has just broken the record for the electric motorbike quarter mile. The bike broke 155 mph and finished the quarter mile in less than nine seconds.
Of course, the real story here isn”t the “zero to sixty” numbers, it”s the technology behind the bike. The batteries were developed by A123 systems and are already delivering more power more safely than any other lithium ion battery. A123“s batteries don”t yet have the power density of the Tesla Roadster”s batteries, but they”re catching up.
The batteries in this bike have a good chance of being the batteries that finally start to chip away at internal combustion”s stranglehold over the automobile industry. And while this is just a motorcycle that happens to be faster than any other electric motorcycle, the possibilities for the technology are extremely exciting.
Information on the Electric Motorbike can be found on the Internet.

Possibly you can help me! I am looking to purchase a motorcycle for my boy and i simpy dont know what type of bike i should be going for? I mean when i got my bike i knew precisely what i wanted for a ver long time, but he is unsure what he wants? Is there maybe a good way to determine whats best?
I for one can’t wait for the motocross racing season to kick into full gear. Our bikes have been packed up and garaged for the winter months, but it’s time to get them out there. We have alot of work to do on some of the bikes, and its gonna take some time, but like we do each year, we upgrade several of the systems, and make our supercrosser bikes better than they were the season before. Ride hard – or go home…
Great articles & Nice a site….
Good work buddy, keep it up.
