Electric Superbike running Pikes Peak

[Astir]

Very interesting! I will be curious to see how this goes.

Chip Yates plans to attack Pikes Peak on his electric superbike during the 89th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on June 29. He won’t be the first e-moto to join the Race to the Clouds — John Scollon competed last year on a bike built by Eva Håkansson. But he’s the first with a shot at embarrassing some gasoline machines.

That will be interesting. Good find Astir. Thank you.

Back in January ( WERA Heavyweight Twin race ) he competed against Ducati 848s, KTM RC8s and Suzuki SV650s and beating most of them and got on the podium.

This is his bike and that is one huge Tail Bag ( or as Kari-Star would say his Hat box :D:) designed to house the battery pack

:lol: Think of all the hats he could fit in that thing!
