BlueShift motorcycle is fast in red, black and blue
We've got a few more details and renderings of that electric two-wheeled tsunami with tons of torque we told you about yesterday and, as promised, we bring them straight to you. The BlueShift Motorcycle Co. was kind enough to fork over a couple more renderings of their upcoming bike in different colors as well as one that shows their beast from a few different angles. We think it looks pretty speedy from any point of view and we're told that it will hit 60 mph from a standstill in 3 seconds. Of course, we still don't know if this is a theoretical time or if they actually have constructed a prototype. We also don't know how fast it will go, though we have been informed its range will be over 100 miles. The company CEO, Tommy Hills, informs us the some of the new tech the bike incorporates will allow riders to customize its look and feel. He also says that you will also be able to communicate with other riders through the motorcycle. When we find out what that means exactly, we'll let you know.

I hope the footpeg position is adjustable. I'd love to have an electric motorcycle, but for my own riding style, the severely foot-forward position they have would keep me from buying their bike. I want the pegs just about under my center of mass so I can stand up if I have to -- I do that a lot over bumps and potholes now.
That said, it's a neat looking bike, and if ergonomic changes were on their menu of adjustments, it'd be interesting.
