The world's first electric motorbike has been launched in the UK.
Designed and developed by TTXGP founder Azhar Hussain, the TTX02 green transport model is currently available to pre-order.
Already, the two-wheeler has picked up the nickname "laptop on wheels" by critics as it can be connected to an array of electronic devices, including smart phones and MP3 players.
In addition, the bike boasts its own dedicated IP address and can be connected to Wi-Fi.
The TTX02 is expected to be released commercially in the first three months of 2010.
Industry experts predict that the green transport option will cost in the region of £25,000.
Under the Climate Change Act, the government is committed to achieving a reduction of 80 per cent in carbon emissions by 2050 from 1990 levels.
Currently, transport accounts for a quarter of the UK's total carbon output, which is why ministers are aiming to promote the use of more green transport options such as electric vehicles.
