KillaCycle is the quickest and most powerful electric motorcycle in the world.
It has over 500 hp and accelerates 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in less than a second!

The secret of KillaCycle? - The batteries!
The powerful A123 Systems nano-phosphate™ battery cells are what makes the KillaCycle go as fast as it does! The same battery cells are found in DeWalt cordless hand tools.

KillaCycle:
• is the quickest and most powerful electric motorcycle in the world.

• has since 1999 continuously set and broken its own world records.

• has made the fastest (mph) and quickest (ET) ¼ mile pass ever made by any electric vehicle of any kind (7.824 s @ 168 mph, Pomona, November 2007). No other electric vehicle of any kind, past or present, has ever gone this fast or this quick in the ¼ mile.

• has been the world’s fastest (mph) electric powered vehicle of any kind (mph) in ¼ mile drag racing since August 2000

• was the first electric vehicle to break the 8 seconds barrier in drag racing (November 2007)

• was the first electric powered vehicle of any kind to go over 150 mph in a ¼ mile (August 2000).

KillaCycle is the result of years of effort on the part of Bill Dubé, his sponsors and team members.
