Not science fiction any more.

Quote:We’ve seen a lot of strange motorcycles over the years, but the Johammer J1 is by far the strangest yet.
Two models available, good to go at 120KM/H 75M/H for 150 or 200 miles respectively.
Made in Austria with a price point of $ 32,000 and up, a choice of colors...neat features.

Quote:The designer also 86’d the gauges in favor of a display in the mirrors. Propulsion comes from an 11 kilowatt hub-mounted motor. That’s all of 14 horsepower–in a bike that weighs 350 pounds. So it’s slow. Really slow. But people will have plenty of time to gawk as you roll past.
The future is here. Or not.
But it's starting to feel like it.

14 HP - More like a speed bump
$32K - More like a BMW (an expensive speed bump)
Well, I guess anything is better than what we have... ...Right?

uhhm....
They've been racing Electric motorcycles at the Isle of Man TT (Which in ON RIGHT NOW btw) for about 6 years now.
The record AVERAGE SPEED for a lap of the 37 mile circuit is about 120mph if I remember correctly??
They can be SCARY FAST! and eerily quiet!
I'll try and find a linky or two...
