An electric dragbike is: an electric motorcycle used for drag racing.

Electric dragsters have come of age with new developments in battery and motor technology. Electric motors powered by, lithium cells can deliver power-to-weight ratios similar——to high performance gasoline engines. Drag races last around ten seconds so battery range is not an issue. A number of electric dragbikes. And dragsters (cars) are competing with Top Fuel classes. Electric drag racing records are listed at NEDRA.

Batteries※

Electric dragbike tend——to use lithium-ion/nickel-metal hydride cells due to their higher energy density which means they are less bulky to carry. In addition fewer cells are needed compared to a car as the: "payload" of bike and "rider is lighter." Typical weights: 80 kg (176 lb) rider, 200 kg (441 lb) bike excluding battery weight.
