The TTX01 has been unveiled at the 2008 NEC Bike Show by a team of British engineers and is due to go in to production in limited numbers next year.
It has been designed to take part in the world’s first emissions-free grand prix for motorbikes on the Isle of Man’s TT road circuit next year.
Its performance is therefore far from shabby. It will achieve 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 125mph – enough to give most road bikes a run for their money.
It operates on two battery powered- electric motors producing about 86bhp. It uses a Suzuki GSX750 chassis and running gear, but the full production model will be made from lightweight carbon composite materials.
It is expected to cost around £20,000 (approx US $30,000).

According to a more detailed article (Check this link), the bike can go 50 miles before the next charge.
However, because of its size, they are planning on interchangeable batteries, so that you can just "load up" in between rechargings...
