I would imagine trials riders would love the constant torque of an electric drive.And with a silent bike they could exhibt in more locations side by side with mountain bike trials

Oh and can we change this sub forum from Electric cars to Electiric Vehicles
It's all fair game for a site called Electirc performance...
Cute little 0 in the dirt LOL
As an avid off-road rider, this is one sweet little ride. The price is inline with a top drawer off-road motorcycle. I can't wait to try one out in the woods. The only drawback I see is that an average off-road trail ride or enduro measures in at 40-60 miles and 4-5 hours. Waaaay outside the range of this little puppy.
It would be a great play bike though! Perfect for motocross or freestyle.
My current ICE bike:
Gas Gas EC200 Made in Spain (yes, it's a noisy 2 smoke)
The Zero was at the Alt car expo. Besides a booth they also had a shared fenced area for letting people ride. Anyone with a Motorcycle license was allowed to circle around at 1/4 power. Once the felt comfortable they pulled in for a switch to full power.
The sales guy said on Friday they gave 50 or so rides and had 6 spills.Getting used to the brakes was part of it but mostly because the power is more than anyone expects. I think the bike's silence is deceptive.
I found the strangest thing was watch riders do wheelies right in front of me with no noise. Felt like a real life with the mute on.

La Times covered the Zero. A very temping purchase price.

The battery is made up of many cells but the ESS is interchangeable so you could be riding while you are charging a spare or two.Originally Posted by vfx
