The American-designed MotoCzysz E1pc is rumoured to be the fastest, most efficient zero emission, all electric motorcycle on the planet. Created by Michael Czysz, the MotoCzysz E1pc features a D1g1tal Dr1ve 500volt motor with a battery packing 10 times the power of a Prius hybrid with 2.5 times the torque output of a Ducati motorcycle.
The 75kW (100hp) electric motor gives 340Nm (250ft.lbs) torque output and is 93% efficient at converting the 10kwh of battery energy. In recent tests, the MotoCzysz E1pc reached a top speed of 225kph (140mph), besting its closest electric competitor's 164kph (102mph). The E1pc also clocked a 152kph (94.6mph) lap, tantalizingly close to the 161kph (100mph) goal.
The MotoCzysz E1pc uses iPhone technology to track pertinent information like speed and location via GPS and measure performance metrics like lateral G and acceleration.
The MotoCzysz E1pc will race this week at the Isle of Man TT in the zero emissions TTXGP race.
