An ecological superbike? Yes, you’ve heard right. Vectrix Electric Super Bike is the world’s first electric superbike. Designed by Robert Brady and tested on the Vallelunga circuit in Italy, the superbike can reach 200km/h and it was able tu run 20 laps without recharging the battery. Beside this, another strenght of the bike is that the exhaust, the fuel system and the engine are missig making the bike very light.
The design is futuristic and the first thing that crossed my mind when is saw the pictures was Batman riding it. Anyway don’t expect it to compete in MotoGp any soon, but I am glad to see that people are getting more and more interested in renewable energy.

I’m not sure how running on a battery makes it renewable energy. The battery has to be charged from somewhere, and that means electricity from coal, nuclear, or some other non-green source.

Sweet bike, I want one!!! And as to chrism’s comment… the obvious answer is that electricity CAN be produced renewably, unlike burning fossil fuel inside an engine. Duh.

re commnet by “chrism” - perhaps you’ve heard of solar electric? the availability of clean electric, ie zero carbon footprint, via photovoltaic cells is now pretty common. you can power your home and/or build a little PV carport to park your smokin fast Vectrix supermoto under… clean, clean, clean & green ! ! !

Chrism, you stand corecd, right? There are many wys of charging bateries renewably, but to make oil, you have to put your ancestors under a lot of pressure for millions of years….
Info: The patrol police force in Muralto Ticino (Switzerland) is being equipped with Vetrix scooters…. This is very interesting tchnology.

Ever heard of residential wind turbine skystream. There popping up all around. It could fuel this awesome machine.

Serioulsly Skystream 3.7 is a recent best of what’s new (time)Invention of the year (popular science). Check it out there are two hundred of them up already in the last two years in the outskurts of the DFW metro plex.

I like the bike. as to chrism’s comment… this bike is a big step towards the reduction of the number of point of source for emissions, if we could remove all fossil fuel powered vehicles from the road and only the powerplants remained then the world will be a better place. but this bike has to beat a fossil fueled Ducati and all the jap bikes first in motogp before it gains mass appeal.
