According to both Killa’s as well as the official Bonneville sites … the actual record is for the fastest Electric Powered Sidecar M/C. Not the overall sidecar record .. which is substantially faster . Eva does now hold the record for fastest woman on a bike . But I’m guessing that may not hold for much longer
ColoradoKid. On a sidecar!
A brilliant achevment but that is not a Motorcycle its a Trike.
Sidecar & trikes are motorcycles.
Ok my mistake, its a sidecar but is it really a Motorcyle? Whatever it is she has bigger Balls than me. Go Girl.
Frank. A Trike is not technicaly a Motorcyle, a Motorcycle has 2 wheels not three. Oxford English Dictionary “a two wheeled motor driven road vehicle without pedal propulsion” Hmm how about off road Motorcycles……….. ill throw that out to the rest of you.
I would call it the world’s fastest trike, not bike. Nonetheless, seeing an electric motor beat an internal combustion engine is impressive. Wonder if it is air-cooled.
I agree with Guy, a trike is a tricycle
doesn’t make any difference what you guys think….the ama has rules which she fullfilled. as far as the ama is concerned, a trike/sidecar is indeed a motorcyle by their definition for their speed records. i was there on the salt for the record….it was indeed killa
For those who didn’t watch it to the end, there are two wheels in line and a 3rd sticking out to the side. Kinda sounds like a sidecar setup, no? Whatever it is or isn’t, everyone she beat was in the same class 😉
Regardless of the # of wheels ya got a love a fast woman. Z
Zipper i love a fast woman too, but how the hell do you catch her?
Congratulations sweetheart , whatever that thing is.
I would argue the point that a trike (trike – three wheeled motorcycle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trike) is not a motorcycle. But then if I have to explain, you wouldn’t understand.
Still a very impressive feat! That is FAST!
Eva just ran a 251.866 with a 255.914 exit speed at Cook’s High Speed Test & Tune 09-12-14.
Sincere congratulations, tell us more about the drive in your bike (:-)
I give credit where credit is due
Man, Woman or Teen, still take guts to race on the salt !!!
Congrats !!! & Good luck !!!!
