Phil, from Uckfield, East Sussex, hopes his electric bike will break the current world record of 6.94 seconds by travelling a quarter of a mile at 200mph in six seconds with 1,000 horsepower and zero emissions from a standing-start. He plans to see the bike make its debut on a race track in early 2016. Phil already holds the title of the UK’s fastest electric motorcycle having designed and built it in 2011. He has since spent the last three years planning and fundraising to build a new bike to take on the American constructors and bring the world record to the UK.

Generous Phil will donate six per cent of all Supporter Club subscriptions and 10 per cent of all merchandise sales to national charity Canine Partners after hearing about the good work they do.

Phil said: “Exciting projects like ‘Fast Charge’ attract lots of attention and I was aware that we could use our high profile to raise awareness for the Charity. I’ve been looking for some time to find a deserving cause and, as a dog lover myself, was intrigued when I first heard about Canine Partners. When I met them and saw the amazing work they do to train and support assistance dogs I was really impressed and knew we’d found our own partner!”

The motorbike which broke the UK record for the fastest electric motorcycle spent 2014 at The National Motor Museum in Beaulieu as part of their special exhibition ‘Record Breakers – for Britain and the hell of it….’
