So I’m not much of a bike rider myself but I can sure appreciate the beauty of the streamlined design such as this new concept Electric Superbike; The Vectrix!
The Vectrix Electric Super Bike is the first completely electrically powered bike and is said to be able to complete 20 laps of the Vallelunga circuit in Italy at a top speed of 200km/hour.
Impressive if it indeed does this.
The Vectrix Electric Super Bike comes from the concept first borne through Robrady’s rMOTO. With a little direction from Peter Hughes, this concept became a reality.
The Vectrix follows in its baby brother’s footsteps what with its clean technology and eco friendly vision. It has batteries instead of engine, fuel tank or exhaust so this bike will be gliding along the roads in clean, crisp style.
The “green” bike has caused quite a stir in Milan (where it premiered) and will be on its way to Harrods in London and then Monte Carlo and finally it will debut in America at the January 2008 International CES in Las Vegas.
Once the bike returns from its highly publicized round the world trip, we hope to be seeing it hit the auto shops within the following year – it’s about time a green “vehicle” made it to our grubby paws!
