It is electric. It is almost certainly  the most advanced motorcycle on the planet. And it is the future. We told you moto-genius Michael Czysz — pronounced sizz — was  building another contender  for the TT Zero electric motorcycle race on the Isle of Man. But we  caught up with him early in the build and he wasn’t providing details  or pics. Now that the bike’s hit the track, Wes Siler of Hell  For Leather has all the details  on the MotoCzysz E1PC in a piece posted over at Popular Science. 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’s got the usual top-shelf hardware. Ohlins. Brembo.  You know the drill. 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 smoked  the field during practice, 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. For all the high-tech componentry, the E1PC is designed first and  foremost as a motorcycle, so it’s meant to be hammered. Many bikes  racing in the TTXGP  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. Take a close look at the pics. You’re looking at the future of  motorcycling.  <img src="http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/autopia/2010/06/motoczysz-e1pc-03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/autopia/2010/06/motoczysz-e1pc-04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/autopia/2010/06/motoczysz-e1pc-02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
