It is electric. It is almost certainly the most advanced motorcycle on the planet. And it is the future.<\/p>\n<p>We told you moto-genius Michael Czysz \u2014 pronounced sizz \u2014 was building another <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/autopia\/2010\/03\/motoczysz-electric-motorcycle\/\">contender for the TT Zero<\/a> electric motorcycle race on the Isle of Man. But we caught up with him early in the build and he wasn\u2019t providing details or pics. Now that the bike\u2019s hit the track, Wes Siler of <a href=\"http:\/\/hellforleathermagazine.com\/2010\/06\/2010-motoczysz-e1pc-the-future.html\">Hell For Leather<\/a> has all the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.popsci.com\/cars\/article\/2010-06\/inside-story-motoczysz-e1pc-worlds-most-advanced-electric-motorcycle\">details on the MotoCzysz E1PC<\/a> in a piece posted over at <em>Popular Science<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>This bike is bad-ass, no two ways about it. It has a custom-built 12.5-kilowatt-hour lithium polymer battery that can be swapped in seconds. The custom-built, oil-cooled motor generates 100 horsepower (continuous) and 250 pound-feet of torque. It all hangs from a custom frame. Of course, it\u2019s got the usual top-shelf hardware. Ohlins. Brembo. You know the drill.<\/p>\n<p>Czyzs and his crew in Portland, Oregon, were literally buttoning the bike up before the first practice session on the Isle of Man, having just gotten the body panels through customs. No one had tested the bike before, but rider Mark Miller <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/autopia\/2010\/06\/motoczysz-isle-of-man-tt-zero\/\">smoked the field during practice<\/a>, finishing more than three minutes ahead of the competition. The bike hit a top speed of 140 mph and lapped the 37.7-mile course at an average speed of 94.66 mph.<\/p>\n<p>For all the high-tech componentry, the E1PC is designed first and foremost as a motorcycle, so it\u2019s meant to be hammered. Many bikes racing in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/autopia\/tag\/ttxgp\/\">TTXGP<\/a> series suffer ground-clearance issues when leaning into a turn, but the E1PC has no such trouble. Siler says riders accustomed to a conventional sportbike will feel right at home on the E1PC.<\/p>\n<p>Take a close look at the pics. You\u2019re looking at the future of motorcycling.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos: Amadeus Photography.
