We might be seeing the start of a new form of motorsport. Electric motorcycles have really been at the cutting edge of development recently, and it’s going to be really interesting to see exactly what happens.
In fact, the governing body of the MotoGP series is in the process of organizing some races. There are already four on the calendar, with more expected. While no official rules are yet available, it does go without saying that this will draw all kinds of attention to the electric vehicle scene.
And while electric motorcycles are certainly exciting, perhaps you’d prefer something more sedate. Turns out that Rolls-Royce is also jumping onto the green bandwagon with a electric powered Phantom. It’ll be released next year, but don’t expect your bank to finance it for you. It’s going to sell for half a million.

I don’t think they will be slow, on 2009 edition of the Tourist Trophy (Isle of man) they reached around 240km/h
Well I think it will be quite interesting to see this Electric motorcycles race.It will attract all the age group people whether a kid or matured man.
I wish the iPhone could run my 1975 Norton Commando and keep it from leaking oil. Oh that should have been posted on the car 2.0 contest… Anyway I’d love to see electric motorcycles on the track.
