The October 2010 issue of Motorcycle Consumer News in their World Motorcycling column on page 10, features the Roehr e-bike line. The half-page article mentions that their eSuperbike and the eSuperbike-RR both have two AC motors producing 96 hp, which is claimed to provide a top speed of 135 mph and are powered by a 96 volt/8 Ah, 7.7 kWh, LiFePO4 battery pack. The output is 800 amps continuous and 1200 amps peak (well that beats my High Power cells). A LVC HVC shunt balancing management system is employed to maintain performance. Both bikes weigh 500 pounds and are street-legal.

The "entry level" model is the eSupersport, which is fitted with a single 48 hp AC induction motor capable of an honest 100 mph and this model weighs only 395 pounds.

MSRP for the eSuperbike is $27,495, the price of the eSuperbike-RR is $34,495 and $16,965 for the eSupersport.
