KillaCycle Affirms Life
KillaCycle Affirms Life
KillaCycle® is the quickest and most powerful electric motorcycle in the world. It is quicker and faster than ANY other electric-powered vehicle on the drag strip. It has over 500 hp and accelerates 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in less than a second!
The secret– The batteries!
The powerful nano-phosphate™ battery cells are what makes the KillaCycle® go as fast as it does! The same battery cells are found in DeWalt cordless hand tools.
KillaCycle® Facts:
• is the quickest and most powerful electric motorcycle in the world.
