Electric Motorcycle Inventor Crashes at Wired Conference

not5150 writes "The inventor of the electric 'KillaCycle" motorcycle was taken to the hospital for x-rays after demonstrating the vehicle to reporters. Bill Dube, a government scientist during the day and bike builder at night, attempted a burnout in front of the Los Angeles Convention Center during the Wired NextFest fair. Fueled by the "most powerful" lithium-ion batteries in the world, the bike accelerated uncontrollably into another car. There's a video interview (thankfully before the crash) and footage of Dube crashing."

Re:More seriously, though

I read the article and the posts and I can say that it is my opinion that this guy is a menace to society. If he'd just been going a bit faster he could have cleaned out the gene pool a bit.
