Furthering their ‘family tradition’ of creating electric bikes, Eva Håkansson and her husband Bill Dubé – the noted originator of Killacycle – propose to build one of the fastest DIY electric motorcycle.

First, they aspire to beat the 176.434-mph record set by Kent Riches, and later, they’ll crack down on the 400 mph milestone.
