And 'the Swigs by Chip Yates the fastest electric motorcycle in the world. His last speed reading was recorded at the Mojave circuit, where he touched i 306 kilometers per hour. With a complex battery system, this motorcycle was initially designed to compete on the track with other electric motorcycles. Due though of excessive weight, beyond i 260 kg, does not guarantee efficiency between the curves, so Yates decided to use it to make it the fastest electric motorbike of all, trying to reach the maximum possible power.

However, there will still be work to improve it, especially from an aerodynamic point of view. It will also be necessary to find a new housing for the lithium ion batteries and redesign the rear chassis. The next goal has already been set: breaking the 200 mph barrier (321km/h) to set another record, perhaps to be achieved in a suggestive setting such as the probable Lake Bonneville.
