It's about time that a sleek, fast, and all-around badass electric motorcycle hit the roads. This new electric motorcycle, dubbed The Sora, is made by a Candian company called Lito Green Motion.

Treehugger has all of the eco-friendly specs on the Sora. They say,

  • An energy storing, integrated charge management system. Ride for up to 300 km on a single charge thanks to the top-of-the-line, high-density battery -- built to last for the life of the bike
  • A powerful electric motor and CVT transmission. Experience the power of going 0-200 km/h with zero clutch and phenomenal torque that makes you feel like you're flying on the road
  • An advanced communication and power management unit, developed by LITO and designed to convert every watt of power efficiently to minimize energy loss
  • A patented Safe Range System™. With this revolutionary application you will never experience range anxiety. Just set your destination the Sora will manage the amount of energy to get you there
  • State-of-the-art integrated GPS system and touch screen. Stay connected to your bike in a new way never before possible
  • The world's first ever electric motorbike seat. Change your ride handling on the fly
  • High-quality front fork and rear suspension and top-of-the-line braking, designed to let you stop faster than on almost any other superbike
  • An on-board charging port and sealed lockable storage compartment. Keep you gear dry and secure
  • Patented email notification when your the SORA charge is complete
  • A regenerative braking system. Energy lost during braking is used to recharge the battery, so you can travel further in a single charge. The system also minimizes impact on the brake pad, which means less maintenance
  • Lightweight carbon fiber fairing and aluminum chassis. Aircraft grade materials, stronger, lighter, faster.

The price tag to feel some intense battery powered action between your legs (get your mind out of the gutter!) is a cool C$42,399. If that doesn't break the bank and you're still on the hook, you can reserve a test drive. Deliveries of the Sora are scheduled for October 2011.
