Here is an article regarding the new 2015 Sarolea SP7 which will be racing at the IOM TT Zero this year:

664 foot pounds... Is that a typo?

That number would seem more reasonable if it is taken at the rear wheel rather than at the motor.

Its supposedly the motor, as they refer to the motor making that torque. To quote:

...the motor is the biggest advance from the original machine. Designed in-house, the unit is said to be good for a peak 110 kW (147.5 horsepower) and an utterly massive 900 Nm (664 pound-feet) of torque.

I can't tell if the output sprocket is attached to a gearbox, or direct to the motor, certainly the reduction on the chain drive appears to be 1:1

It is definitely possible in a motorcycle with a torque oriented motor, like this one.

Speculation of course!
But could this little post on Facebook be the start of another manufacturer showing production plans?

I would really like to see the Saroléa to go into production

Looks like your typical teaser to me, so I'm guessing they'll produce some news in the near future.
