It actually reminds me of Mission Motorcycle's bike. I think it was called Mission One? Not pretty, but it's interesting-looking.

Electric Motorcycle News / Re: Energica no longer the official Moto-E motorcycle after 2022 season

Having some familiarity with independent electric motorcycle manufacturers, I can tell you that some of the first buyers of a new model are the big ICE motorcycle companies. I have little doubt that Ducati has an ongoing project team (and probably has had one for years). All I can say is it's about time.

Brammo Forum / Re: Brammo forum offline for upgrade?

It's actually just that the theme we chose many years ago had not been eligible for updates because the creator of it is gone. We will choose a new theme soon. Until then, we are using the default theme.

Electric Motorcycle News / Re: Max Biaggi and Voxon set multiple land speed records

Eva Hakansson has a couple things to say about that claim:

— KillaJoule - still the fastest electric motorcycle in the world! 😀 —
I have received messages and emails regarding the new world speed record for electric motorcycles claimed by Voxan Motors in the past days.

While their average flying mile speed of 228.050 mph (366.940 km/h) certainly is an achievement on a sit-on motorcycle, it does _not_ make the Voxan Wattman the world’s fastest electric motorcycle. That title is still held by the KillaJoule with an official FIM record of 248.721 mph (400.278 km/h), set in August 2016 at Bonneville. KillaJoule best overall speed is 270.224 mph (434 km/h) (measured as exit speed with the official timing equipment), and we are hoping to greatly exceed that with the Green Envy. 💚💚

All the records set by the KillaJoule are listed at www.GreenEnvyRacing.com/records.

To quote Phil Evans, a long-timer in world of land speed racing and outstanding LSR photographer: “If 'top speeds' were recognised as 'records' then the history of speed record breaking would be a very different story to that written in the history books, that is why we have governing bodies with stipulated rules, classes and regulations. Fantastic achievement, no need to overegg the cake for meaningless media claims....”
