This homemade electric land speed motorcycle just passed its first (illegal) test runs
We’ve been following Shea Nyquist’s attempt to build a land speed electric motorcycle in his garage for a few months now. Last time we checked in he had the major components finished. Now he’s completed preliminary testing and proved the stability of the parts heap turned impressive land speed electric motorcycle.
Next step? The Bonneville salt flats!
Shea Nyquist is hoping to set a new land speed record for an electric motorcycle streamliner. But he’s not on a highly funded or sponsored team. Instead, he’s building the electric motorcycle himself on a shoestring budget.
His custom electric motorcycle streamliner is built largely from salvaged parts. And believe it or not, it looks like he just might succeed. He has experience as a mechanical engineer for battery systems as well as dozens of successful electric motorcycle builds under his belt already. So while his Lark electric streamliner motorcycle project might seem far fetched, he may just be uniquely qualified to do it.
