 World's Fastest Electric-Powered Drag Bike, the KillaCycle, to Race at Firebird Speedway, March 31, 2007
The world’s quickest electric motorcycle, the “KillaCycle”, will make its next appearance at the All Harley Drag Racing Association (AHDRA) on March 31, 2007, at the Firebird Speedway, Chandler, AZ. Driven by Scott Pollacheck, the young man who just made the quickest electric-powered 1/4 mile run in history (8.760 seconds @145 mph) the KillaCycle may set a new record again.
Designed and constructed by engineer Bill Dube’ and the KillaCycle team; Steve Ciciora, Derek Barger, and Scot Colburn, the bike is the product of a marriage between state-of-the-art battery technology and old-fashioned “do-it-in-the-garage” workmanship. The bike is powered by 880, 2.3 amp-hr Lithium Ion cells made by A123 Systems. Each of these 70 gram, 3.4 volt cells is about the size of a roll of LifeSavers, yet can put out over 150 amps! They are the most powerful Lithium Ion cells ever manufactured. The Zilla 2K-HV motor controller, made by Cafe’ Electric directs 374 volt, 1350 amp flow of electricity from the battery pack to the twin electric motors.
Come by the pits and meet the whole KillaCycle team, learn more about the fun of high-performance electric vehicles, and then watch the bike go from zero to 60 mph in 1.4 seconds, silently!
