Killacycle's (Electric Drag Bike)

[limbo]

The world's quickest and fastest electric vehicle on the quarter mile is coming to New Zealand in January.

Philip at Greenstage has organised the KillaCycle team to come out for a tour of the North Island including a few runs at Meremere. This bike is seriously fast, it does 0-100km/h in less than 1 second! It holds the world electric drag record, covering 1/4 mile from a standing start in 7.864 seconds and doing 169 MPH at the end. That's 272km/h.

The confirmed events are thus:

1. Thur 21st - Sun 24th Jan - Wellington, show and talk at Te Papa (Bill Dube, the KillaCycle owner, will be speaking 6:30pm Thursday and 1pm Sunday for 30-40 minutes).
2. Mon 25th Jan - Manfield, show and talk (Te Manawa museum).
3. Wed 27th Jan - Taupo, show and talk (exact location to be determined).
4. Thur 28th Jan - Hamilton, show and talk (Wintec, Automotive workshop D1.01 Avalon Campus).
