William "Chip" Yates - Road Racer, Team Owner, Chief Designer - SWIGZ.COM Pro Racing Electric Superbike
In January, 2010, Chip Yates and his two volunteer engineers Ben Ingram and Robert Ussery set out to fulfill an outrageous goal: to design, build and race an electric superbike capable of delivering gasoline bike lap times with no outside funding or full-time staff. Difficulties and setbacks abounded - a patent-pending front wheel KERS braking system was required and invented, Chinese batteries were scrapped, budgets ran low and the bike was banned from TTXGP and FIM e-Power competition just as it neared completion. But on January 9, 2011, the small team made history as Chip rode to two podium spots against gasoline powered superbikes, setting the fastest lap time of any bike in his second race and a top speed of 158 mph on the front straight at Auto Club Speedway.
