I hate how live leak glorifies the bad stuff with retarded things like "action starts @ 2:00" yeah electric bikes dont need alot of the same fluids or a transmission, they are incredibly light and can have motors that go to each individual wheel if the designer wanted to as not only are the motors lighter the whole bike probably weighs a fraction of what its fastest petroleum bikes do. They can be dangerous but they are still pretty cool. Sucks that the guy crashed though.

They call them "Zero's" (no CC) in the racing world and have been around for awhile check out the "Isle of Man" races if you want to watch the ballsiest race in the World. They race them there with gas bikes of course too.

200mph+ on regular old roads, every year is faster than the last. I just don't see how someone can control a machine going that fast, I think in the Hills it's like 235+.
They say the houses shake when they go by. There are certainly better clips than this one, but I was having a hard time imbedding. They usually don't show the crashes, which is fine in my book. I respect these men deeply being a longtime cyclist myself (I rarely go over 60 mph, lol)

I dont think the batteries would weigh as much as the transmission and its components along with all the required fluids. I will see if i can't find this bikes specs and a fair comparison. You may be right but I'd have to see for myself.

A bike that accelerates that fast should have a thumb-button operated throttle.
