Engadget - More than two years after breaking the world land speed record with its wind-powered Greenbird, Ecotricity has its eyes set on the record books once again. This time around, the UK-based green energy company is bringing its Ion Horse superbike to the Isle of Man TT raceway, in the hopes that it will become the first electric bike to average 100 mph over the course of the one-lap race.
The last few motorway service charging points on Ecotricity's 300-strong network will today be switched to a pay as you go system after five years of being free.
