Default You might laugh at a Prius.........but

....I doubt you'll laugh at this! McGuinness breaks the Isle of Man TT Zero (electric) record lap with an average speed of 117,366.

While that sound is gonna take some getting used too, impressive to say the least. Talk about smooth too.

TT legend John McGuinness won his 21st TT race on Wednesday morning when he took the SES TT Zero race in record-breaking style. Riding the Mugen Shinden, McGuinness was always in the lead and with a stunning new lap record of 117.366mph, he came home 23.3s clear of team-mate Bruce Anstey. Rob Barber, on the Ohio State University Buckeye machine, took third.

M-Tec is the company. This is referencing 2013 http://mugeneuro.com/uncategorized/2...n-ni-revealed/

One of the electric bike companies is owned or headed up by someone who's very close to Honda motorcycles. I believe is a son of one of the Honda Presidents or something. I thought it very interesting given how good Honda sportbikes were that the person is making an electric competitor. I believe M-Tec is that company.
