Eva Håkansson – with passion for electric drive and Building Her Own Electric Motorcycle
A hardcore “EV geek” with a green heart and passion for power and speed.
Owner of the electric motorcycles ElectroCat and KillaJoule and part of the KillaCycle racing team.
Graduate student at University of Denver and married to Bill Dube’ (the man behind the Killacycle).
Eva was born in Sweden not too many years ago (1981) and grew up in a family of engineers with a father that is not only a champion rider, but also an engine designer and an electric vehicle enthusiast.
Eva went to my first race track in the baby carrier. I have been interested in technology as long as I can remember. When I was just 4 years old I built a “nuclear power plant” of cans and cardboard in my father’s workshop. 15 years later I got my first car – a well-used Saab 900 turbo that had belonged to my brother. The first thing I had to do was to replace the broken gearbox under supervision of my father. It was a large and messy operation – the car had been leaking oil for several years – but it gave me a real taste of technology. Since then my interest for technology has continued to grow.
