Looking more like a Tron Lightcycle than any motorbike you've ever seen before, the Swiss MonoTracer has been electrified for the new MonoTracer-E model, which still fits two people for a comfortable, eco-friendly ride.
Manufacturer Peraves has added lithium-ion batteries for that jolt of electricity, with a full charge reportedly being enough for 300km if average speeds are 100km/hr. If you don't mind forsaking some of your journey for speed, it can be revved up to 250km/hr.
On sale this year for €80,000 ($114,600), the MonoTracer-E is actually down in Guinness Book of World Records fame as being the fastest and most efficient electric vehicle so far—even if some people have difficult driving it. [Peraves via WIRED UK]
Update: Apparently Peraves didn't have any photos of the new MonoTracer-E, but said it's indentical to the original model (which is pictured), except for that exhaust pipe and muffler, as commenter Bombastinator pointed out below.

Just don't let Anne Hathaway drive it.
