Today I have read a post on Hell for Leather Magazine, about the TT on Isle of Mann this year and the racers top speeds.

MotoCzysz annihilates competition at TT Zero practice

The 2010 MotoCzysz E1pc recorded a 131.1mph trap speed on the Sulby straight and a 94.664mph lap at the Isle of Man today. Those figures compare very well to the competition, easily besting the second fastest team, Agni, on both top speed and lap times. Michael told us on Saturday night that his rider, Mark Miller, was achieving these kind of speeds using only 40 percent throttle on average. The TT Zero race takes place on Wednesday at 10:30 AM EST, we'll be bringing you plenty of coverage then and in the run up to the race.

It is interesting to see that the top speed of MotoCzysz and the other bikes differ a lot, a gap of 28,5 mph (45,87 km/h)! That’s a huge gap! Even more surprising are the differences in the top five of these track top speeds 73 mph (117,48 km/h)..

This illustrates the possibilities for the VertiGO, a true electric motorcycle which can compete with the best. Developing

Although it is sad to see these large differences. On the other hand it also illustrates our philosophy on developing the VertiGO’s drivetrain as one coherent system, as a dedicates high-performance electric racer, our true goal!
