The Killacycle broke the record for the fastest electric vehicle of all time on April 3rd and 4th. The bike was able to do a quarter-mile in 8.1 seconds, reaching a speed of 156 miles per hour, and can do 0 to 60 in 1.5 seconds.
The bike is powered by 990 lithium ion cells made by A123, the same battery maker trying to produce the battery for the production model of the Volt.
This awesome display of power and proof of the success of A123′s development process, moves us one step closer to a real production car. This news also comes on the heels of Cobasys’s announcement that they are building a new 18000 square foot Li-ion battery development facility.
