PerthMX.com had the opportunity to head into the offices of Zero Motorcycles in Vermont in Victoria, and found that these range of electric bikes certainly pack a mean little punch. An alternative form of motorcycling, light, noise free, no exhaust fumes and plenty of grunt! Road and Off Road/MX bikes in their range, thanks to Phil Wilkinson for showing us the new kid on the block - Zero Motorcycles. www.zeromotorcycles.com.au
Zero Motorcycles invited MotoUSA to Santa Cruz, California to test its complete line of electric motorcycles. Take a look at the Zero S, Zero DS, Zero X, Zero MX and Zero XU in this 2011 Zero Motorcycles First Ride Video. Check out the video then read the full review at motorcycle-usa.com. www.motorcycle-usa.com
California's Zero Motorcycles has taken the lead in the electric power-commuter business with the Zero S. This street-legal supermoto can hit 75 mph (115 km/h( and boasts up to 60 miles (100km) between charges ... but it can't hit both these targets at the same time. Read more at www.gizmag.com
Got a chance to take a Zero DS out for a test ride. Here's some excerpts from the footage I shot on my GoPro HD.
zero-x-electric-motorcycle-zero-shop.blogspot.com - Customer Reviews The most fun for the least disturbance on a motorcycle - I bought the upgraded model Jan. 09. It is easy and light to handle with all the torque you want when geared to 40 mph. Wheelie popping power will last close to an hour. For serenity and relaxation, you can't beat a quiet ride on a trail through the woods, and it will last you close to two hours. I have come around a corner and surprised deer 30 feet away. It's that quiet. And operational cost is so low. It only costs me about a dime to have all of that fun. Recharges in one to two hours. And if you have a spare battery pack, you can switch out the old one (in five minutes) and ride for another hour or two while the first one is charging. No expenses for replacement plugs, or mufflers or tune ups. I have had no problems in the rain, the snow, or a couple big mud holes. And if I want to fly through the woods on some logging roads or fire trails, I switch the rear sprocket to their 61 tooth and have a top speed of 50 (which is plenty for me). And for the people who don't like clutches, there isn't one. You just twist the throttle and go. If you can ride a mountain bike, you can ride this bike. You just don't have to pedal or push up hill, which combined with the speed, makes this a whole lot more fun. These bikes kick a$$! I got one of these bikes back in December '08 and have had a blast with it. I originally wanted one to pack along with us for ...
