Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Roskva Electric Was Designed with Form and Function in Mind

— August 17, 2012 — Eco
The Roskva Electric is an electric motorcycle designed with both form and function in mind. The electric chopper was built by a team of Norwegian students from Oslo's University of Life Sciences. The team's goal was to create an electric motorcycle that could go fast, had a decent range and looked awesome.

The team used carbon fiber materials to construct the bike. All told the Roskva Electric weighs in at a slim 55 pounds. The light weight helps its 96-horsepower electric engine hit a max speed of 112 mph. Max range is 62 miles, which is comparable to some electric cars currently on the market. No word yet on whether or not the students have been approached to bring the Roskva Electric into production.
