From The Luxury Show, a $45,000 custom 150 mph electric motorcycle.

Here and below are two incredible machines for those who love motorcycles and airplanes. For most of us too, the prices are up there is the clouds, but it’s still fun to see them and learn a bit about them. First up is the ENERGICA EGO. I’ve been a passenger on a motorcycle, but never driven one. So here’s some info via the company which says this is the world’s first all-electric superbike bred from the heartland of Italian racing legend: The Energica EGO. Designed and built by the same people who have designed and engineered racing performance from Formula One Racing to Le Mans 24h for over 40 years. Massive Performance, no emissions. At the heart of this thoroughbred is an electric motor which produces an astounding 195 Nm torque from 0 RPM to redline, an electronically limited 150 Mph (240 km/h) and a 0 – 100 time of under 3 seconds. All on just pennies’ worth of energy. Top of e line racing components, onboard chargers, and a range of approximately 120 miles of real world riding, with a phase 4 DC charge to 85% in just 30 minutes. Designed, engineered, and crafted by hand in Modena, Italy. --- And now back to the big question I’m sure you have - price! Energica Ego models start at about $35,000. They won’t be shipping until 2015, but judging from test ride reviews, it’s quite an impressive machine. And of course you can get lots of customized features.
