Chip Yates (born February 11, 1971, as William Morrison Yates III) is an American inventor and electrical vehicle pioneer[1] best known for risky record-setting feats in electric vehicles of his own design.[2] He designed and built the record-breaking SWIGZ electric motorcycle,[3] which in 2011 he rode over 200 mph (322 km/h)[4] to 8 official world land speed records,[5][6] 4 AMA National Championship Records,[7] the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb record,[8] and the Guinness Book of World Records title of “World’s Fastest Electric Motorcycle”.[9] Dubbed "the world’s most powerful electric superbike",[10] the motorcycle is now on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum's exhibit 'Electric Revolution', curated by Paul d'Orleans.[11][12]
Yates' stated mission is "to prove that electric vehicles don't have to be slow and boring",[13] and to follow this pursuit Yates next designed and built an all-electric airplane based on a modified Burt Rutan Long-EZ in which he has set five official Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) world records and two Guinness World Records.[14][15] Dubbed “the world’s most powerful electric airplane”[14] and renamed “Long-ESA” for Yates’ “Electric Speed and Altitude”[16] world record campaign, the composite aircraft has been modified with a front-mounted recharging probe and ballistic parachute for an attempt Yates has announced he will make a mid-air recharging the on-board battery pack from another aircraft flying in close formation.[17]
His exploits, in more ways than one, in pushing electric vehicle technology earned recognition as a "Pioneer of Aviation" from the State of California in the form of Assembly Resolution #1740, presented to Yates in Sacramento during Senate and Assembly sessions on August 30, 2012[18] He is also a noted public speaker, having presented several television shows[19][20] and served as the first national spokesman for the Conrad Foundation,[21] and has delivered a TEDx talk on his philosophy of innovation and risk.[22][23]
