Line up over 900 super duper batteries and design a way for them to power a motor that generates 350 horsepower and you have Killacycle. It has already set speed records for electric power by reaching over 150 mph in a quarter mile, overpower (couldn't resist) gas powered two wheelers.

When businesses are looking to sponsor racers and sports enthusiasts, they must be conscious of who will represent the company best and receive the most exposure for them.
