The SUN SHARK is powered by a combination of human, solar and electric energy and is designed with improved safety and handling when compared with either a conventional motorcycle or a bicycle. The center of gravity is much lower than either a conventional motorcycle or a bicycle and therefor the DIDIK Sun Shark has superior handling. The driver sits between the front and rear wheels rather than on top of the rear wheel as is the case with almost all motorcycles. This lowers the center of gravity of the vehicle while at the same time increases driver safety since it allows both a front and rear "crash zone" in the event of an accident. The aerodynamic housing allows for faster speeds using the same amount of energy.

A deep physics look into whether it's possible to properly solar power an electric motorcycle.

Two people building electric motorcycles and showing many details about the process. They take their bikes racing at drag racing tracks (NEDRA).

Their design uses AGM lead acid batteries and a brushed DC motor.

The speed max seems to be 40 miles/hr for 40 mile range, however I expect this to be an overstatement. Its cost is $9000.

The "Tryckle" is a reverse trike design for those interested in an electric powered vehicle you can own and use today. They offer a conversion service where donor motorcycles are used to create the reverse trike vehicle. The basic system is a 72volt battery powered DC Sepex motor with regenerative braking and programable controller. It boasts energy consumption of 165 watts per mile at 40mph. Top speed is 50mph. The vehicle is equipped with an onboard charger and simple forward-neutral-reverse at the flip of a switch.
