Submitted by MikeWhelan on 31 May, 2010 - 15:15
Imperial College are hoping their electric racing bike will be ready to actually join the Brighton to London convoy. The 100mph racing bike is based on the legendary Suzuki Hayabusa and built to race in the British round of TTXGP, the first ever zero emissions motorbike Grand Prix series. Fresh from competing, spectators can see the bike and meet the engineers who built it, at the Eco-Rally exhibition on 7th July.
