Fastest Cycle in the World Can do 139 km/h
Highlights
On September 17, Eta powered to a fastest speed of 137.93km/h and the very next day hit the 139.21km/h. But that wasn't enough and on the third day, Aerovelo broke the record once more when Eta hit a speed of 139.45kpm! The record attempt makes it the fastest bike in the world.
The multi-record-breaking performance capped off a year of testing and refining Eta on state of the art tracks and in their University of Toronto lab, after placing third in 2014. "This has been a dream of ours for years. This year, we spent more time preparing and testing, and it feels incredible to have all that pay off", said Cameron Robertson, Co-Founder, Eta.
The World Human Powered Speed Challenge draws record-seeking cyclists from around the world to test their high tech speed bikes on highway 305. Eta is funded by Google and the project also received funding and support by donors, including significant contributions from The University of Toronto, GMC, Indeo Ideas Inc., Visual Unity and many others
