The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles brings more than 25 radical electric motorcycles together for a special exhibition titled “Electric Revolutionaries," celebrating the new creative frontiers offered by electric motorcycling.
Some of the selected bikes are design studies, while others, like Eva Håkansson’s “KillaJoule” electric land speed racer, use electric drivetrains in pursuit of performance. The KillaJoule racer is the fastest sidecar streamliner ever built, and Håkansson became the fastest woman on an electric motorcycle at 240 miles per hour. (If you’d like to see more of the KillaJoule, check out Common Tread’s article here.) This exhibition was curated by Motor/Cycle Arts Foundation co-founder Paul d'Orleans and produced by the Motor/Cycle Arts Foundation and Sasha Tcherevkoff with support from LiveWire.
"I'm super excited to assemble this wildly diverse collection of EV pioneers. 'Electric Revolutionaries' really does represent the range of interest in an electric future, from a humble teen in Ghana making EVs from scrap, to genius artisans building conceptual and boundary pushing designs, to speed demons and global superstar designers interested in pushing mobility into the green zone," said d'Orleans.
If you can't see the show in person, here's a photo gallery showing some of the featured motorcycles. "Electric Revolutionaries" opens on April 14. Learn more and get tickets at the Petersen Automotive Museum's website here.
