There doesn't get to be much cooler looking green technology than this motorbike in my book.

The real kicker...it's electric...zero emissions!


Built by MotoCzysz, a US bike manufacturer, the E1pc will do 140mph (at present) and is doing the Isle of Man TT race this week.

It is powered by a 500 volt engine and has 12.5kWh of on-board grunt. A Toyota Prius has 1.3kWh of power! No wonder it does 140mph!


Hopefully some awesome YouTube video will be forthcoming but in the meantime I have included one on the videos page of any early shakedown test. The quicker these bikes come to market the better....
