Meet the woman who invented the world's fastest motorcycle

In 2014, Eva Håkansson set a world record for being the fastest female motorcycle rider, with a speed of 270.224 mph.

She also happened to build the very motorcycle she set the record with - KillaJoule, the world's fastest electric motorcycle and the fastest sidecar motorcycle of any kind.

Håkansson, who comes from an engineering background, spent five years building KillaJoule in her garage with the help of her husband. The vehicle made waves thanks to both its speed and its battery technology, which Håkansson credits to clever engineering.

We spoke to Håkansson to learn about the story, inspiration, and process behind her incredible creation.
