Zero, Harley Livewire,

There is the Lightfighter LFR19 that is an electric race bike, the battery is just big enough to last one race; this makes it relatively light for an electric bike and can win against normal bikes.

The Isle of Man TT has had a race for electric bikes since 2010. The 2019 race was won at a speed of 121.91 mph for the 37.733 mile one lap race.

The Johammer J1 looks odd.

[JimiCollins]

I'm not a fan of electric bikes - this is not the same rock'n roll as before
sound - gasoline smell
