The world's quickest and fastest electric vehicle on the quarter mile is coming to New Zealand in January.
My friend Philip at Greenstage has organised the KillaCycle team to come out for a tour of the North Island including a few runs at Meremere. This bike is seriously fast, it does 0-100km/h in less than 1 second! It holds the world electric drag record, covering 1/4 mile from a standing start in 7.864 seconds and doing 169 MPH at the end. That's 272km/h.
The confirmed events are thus:
- Thur 21st - Sun 24th Jan - Wellington, show and talk at Te Papa (Bill Dube, the KillaCycle owner, will be speaking 6:30pm Thursday and 1pm Sunday for 30-40 minutes).
- Mon 25th Jan - Manfield, show and talk (Te Manawa museum).
- Wed 27th Jan - Taupo, show and talk (exact location to be determined).
- Thur 28th Jan - Hamilton, show and talk (Wintec, Automotive workshop D1.01 Avalon Campus).
- Sat Jan 30th - Auckland, 4 and Rotary Nationals show and shine (ASB Showrounds, Greenlane, Auckland).
- Sun Jan 31st - Meremere, 4 and Rotary Nationals - exhibition drag race (Fram Autolite Dragway, Meremere).
Phil will announce any further events on
his blog.
