As a CHP officer (now retired), friend of Kevin Alsop (BBC owner) and owner of a Venom Chopper, I can tell you that this bike was built as a labor of love on Kevin’s part. Hybrid Technologies footed what turned out to be about half of the production cost of this bike. Kevin donated the remaining costs, but make no mistake that Kevin committed to building this bike in the memory of all slain CHP officers even if he had to foot the entire bill. The bike is flawless and is much more detailed than the photo’s show. There is a real gold CHP badge mounted on the gas tank fuel cap. The wheels are real gold plated and a digital photograph was incorporated in to the rear fender. The photo is of the funeral from a CHP officer that was slain at a court house in Pomona, CA. The CHP officers association took possession of the bike, then donated it to the CHP museum which is located at the CHP academy in Sacramento, CA. If you are ever in that area, stop by and take a look. The public is welcome.

I am a police officer and I own a Big Bear Chopper Venom chopper. I have to say that seeing a major manufacturer actually taking the time to build something to honor fallen officers is absolutely awesome. I think the time and the work that went into designing the bike for the officers is challenging enough , but to add an electric motor , totally disguised as a conventional motor , is an engineering feat in itself. Good work to Big Bear and thank you for your support.

I don’t understand the corelation between CHiPs and electric vehicles, especiall choppers. Heck, the thing isn’t even street legal, what with no turn signals, side reflectors, license plate (or license plate light) or tail/brake that are visible from either side of the vehicle. Come on now, wouldn’t a super-pursuit K1200S or a black and white V-Rod make more sense?
Yes, I’m sure this is just the image the CHP wants to project; anti-establishment hoodlums / techno nerds.

I wonder if the exhaust is digitally tuned
