Released under the Armstrong Electric Vehicles label launched in the western Canadian city of Calgary, the 'Armstrong EB1' is capable of achieving a top speed of 110 km/h and can spring along from zero to 96 km/h in only 3.5 seconds thanks to its 6,000-watt motor. These sorts of numbers might suggest that this is a fairly sizeable two-wheeler, the in fact the 'Armstrong EB1' [electric motorbike weighs only 66 kg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verge-ts-pro-motorcycle), making it a fine example of how well-informed engineering and design can result in weight savings without compromising on speed.
