You can plug the bike into a standard 110-volt plug, takes 5 hours to fully charge and has a 60 mile range on a full charge.

TLC’s American Chopper will be featuring Sarah Palin airing tonight at 9pm. The Orange County Choppers crew has decided to dedicate tonight’s show to celebrate the 50-year anniversary since Alaska became a state by building a custom chopper to honor the special occasion.
Paul Teutul Sr. claims he was initially nervous before the interview but felt Palin was “a real down to earth person to talk to”. Maybe so but I would be careful not to offend her with that bear claw laying right beside her, grrr!
