The KillaCycle is the result of years of effort on the part of Bill Dube’, his sponsors and team members (Steve Ciciora, Derek Barger have worked very hard on the develpoment.) It is currently the quickest 1/4 mile electric drag bike in the world. Recently driver Scott Pollacheck did a record 8.083 second @ 163 MPH run at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison, Colorado.

The motorcycle is powered by 374 volts of electricity stored in 1210 small, but powerful, ‘nano-phospate cells (batteries) provided by A123 Systems. The cells are connected to provide 9.1 kWh of energy storage and are capable of supplying up to 1800 amps. The cells themselves weigh just 186 pounds.The entire battery pack weighs just under 200 lbs yet puts out about 480 horsepower. www.killacycle.com
