We've made a selection and a review of the five fastest and greatest electric motorcycles.

1. Energica EGO

With a top speed of 150 mph, this beast deserved its place on our list of the fastest. While it can develop the speed 60 mph in under 3 seconds, it makes even its gaseous rivals envious. It weighs a massive 550 lbs and packs a motor which produces decent 134 bhp which rightfully confirms its name--EGO. Engineered by the same team that has planned performances at Formula One and 24 Hours of Le Mans, this beautifully designed Italian bike has beaten its contestant--Brammo Empulse R--by a mere few miles per hour.

1. Sarolea SP7 Superbike

This all-carbon Belgian bike can top speeds of more than 155 mph. With 440 lbs of weight, it is lighter than the previous one by a hundred pounds. It goes 0-60 in just 2.8 seconds packing a whopping 180 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque. It comes in a dark black colour featuring red details. Everything on it is made out of carbon, its frame, subframe, swingarm. SP 7 partook in the Isle of a Man TT Zero electric motorcycle race in the year 2014. Mission R would've been a decent contestant to Sarolea concerning the speed, but it was unfortunately discontinued due to bankruptcy.

1. KillaCycle

This bad boy broke the world record in 2000 being the first electric motorcycle to exceed the 150 mph mark. Its top speed today is 170 mph with all the tweaking. An astonishing 300 hp motor powers this monster and it reaches 60 mph in less than a second. While it surely is heavy, with 620 pounds, it makes it all up in power. It was purposely built for drag racing. It drains its power from A123 System batteries and a pair of two DC motors with 2,000 amperes each. It'd be ungrateful to compare it to slower motorcycles like the Brutus or Lito Sora.

1. Chip Yates Superbike

The runner-up on our list of the fastest motorcycles is this electric demon. Built by Chip Yates, a mechanical engineer with a background at Boeing and McLaren, this motorcycle is a combination of first-rate engineering performance and astonishing design. With a top speed of 190 MPH and 258 hp, it surely packs a punch. It goes 0-60 in under 2 seconds, and Yates used it to break 8 FIM Official World Records, 4 AMA Records, and 4 AMA Championship No.1 Plates. With more torque than a Formula 1--400 lb-ft of it--it surely earned its silver medal on our list.

1. Lightning LS-218 Superbike

Being the creme-de-la-creme of electric bikes, this devil is the fastest electric motorcycle on the planet. It reaches a mind blowing 218 miles per hour. It also hits 60 miles in less than 2 sec. It got its name, LS-218, after setting a speed record at Bonneville in August 2013. 200 hp and 168 lb-ft of torque and supreme engineering were more than enough to catapult this superbike to fame. It packs 500 pounds of pure steel muscle. With it, we end our list of the five fastest electrical motorcycles in the whole world.
