Boys from OCC Build an EV

The boys from Orange County Choppers have built the "first custom American chopper" dubbed the Smart Chopper and was commissioned by Siemens, a global electronics and electrical engineering beast of a company. This Electric Vehicle motorcycle tops at 100 mph, has a range of 60-miles and goes against the grain of normal choppers by being almost completely silent. But, OCC made sure that the chopper still had their normal styling witha sleek low body, sports a 10.5 inch rear tire (that's a brutal size), and is tipped off with LED lighting. The Smart Chopper joins the ranks of three other EV bikes: Mission One, Brammo Enertia and Zero X. Compared to the other EVs, this bike looks freaking sweet (Mission One is pretty cool too), and is definitely a look into the future.
