Brother Lou has done it again - Here is a teaser, he'll have more on this project later.
Enjoy -

KillaJoule is an electric streamliner sidecar. built by an amazing team of family and friends. This video shows 2 of the record runs at BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials 2012 on the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Eva Hakansson is an electric motorcycle innovator Born in Sweden and grew up in a family of engineers, Eva and her father Sven, who is a champion racer, motorcycle designer, and over all genius engineer built Sweden’s first street legal electric motorcycle. “ElectroCat”

Eva has two degrees, one in ecological economics, and a second in environmental sciences and further studies in energy technologies.  She is now teamed with her husband, Bill Dube - owner and designer of the world’s quickest electric motorcycle “KillaCycle” 0-60 MPH in under a second!

 Eva is passionate about electric racing. “It’s like chocolate without calories: it gives me everything I want – power, speed, torque, without the things I don’t want - pollutions”.

Just released on YouTube. http://youtu.be/4AqyFOBEh7A

How big are the speakers and amp to make a SOUND so it will be  legal!  :evil:  Will that drain limit the top speed?  :?

Sparky, i guess you haven't been at the line when Eva leaves on a run.  If you were you could then hear her saying "Vroom, VROoom, VROOMMM!!!" louder and louder as she gets under way.  :-D
