The inventor of the “KillaCycle” electric motorcycle almost killed himself during a demonstration at the Wired NextFest conference. Bill Dube, a government scientist during the day and electric bike builder at night, did a “burn out” in front of the Los Angeles Convention Center, but accidentally accelerated too much and crashed into a Minivan. http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/33853/113/ whoopsies and lolz |

pretty much
(edit) what I meant was yeah - if they were available tomorrow I would go and buy one in the morning instead of going to work. The one I'm after doesn't need to do 0-60mph in less than one second.. 0-60kmh in less than a second will do just fine ;) last edited by koopz at 00:11:11 21/Sep/07 |
