Electric superbike smashes speed record by breaking through 150mph mark | Mail Online




An electric superbike has broken a land speed record by bursting though the 150mph mark .

The zero-emissions Mission One ridden by Jeremy Cleland became the fastest electric-powered vehicle when it hit an average speed of 150.059mph over two miles.

On the day it broke the record, the plug-in racer also beat 70 per cent of the petrol-engine bikes competing at the famous Bonneville salt flats in the American state of Utah.
