iPhone Featured in First Electric Superbike

Sprint and the Palm Pre got all the ink and media attention, but a far more dazzling technological breakthrough also made its debut this past Saturday: the world’s first ‘Digital Superbike,’ the MotoCzysz E1pc.

Among the astonishing things about Michael Czysz’s invention — it’s a zero emissions racing bike with no gas, no oil, no clutch, no need to even warm up the engine (there is none) — it uses an Apple iPhone for its in-dash instrumentation.

MotoCzysz has made public no details exactly how the iPhone operates with the bike, but it is set to race in the world’s oldest motorcycle race, the Isle of Man TT, on June 12, after which we’ll hopefully learn more about it.

For now, we can just gaze in wonder at this American-made beauty and simply guess at the reasons why it doesn’t sport a Blackberry Storm or an Android G1.
