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.
Implications - The need for speed has been a fascination for humans for almost an eternity. In racing, sponsorships fuel the sport and the racers. Having unique sponsorships for a business will give valuable exposure and strengthen a brand's personality. 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.
