Who killed the gasoline engine! First ride on Zero Electric bike

[Knormoer]

Been curious untill now but after reading this I must do more research. Sounds like a lot of fun!

What an awesome concept! They look fantastic!! But MAN they are expensive!

That was fun  :thumleft:
All MX riders should go electric. No more complaints about the noise level ever  ;D
I hope those huge rear sprockets will not cause any shit.

and who is going to provide power points at races? The Clubs are already cash strapped due to high costs of maintaining tracks... electrics are fine until you need to recharge... :sip:

Why the huge price tag?  I like this concept. Would like to see a trails type bike at around 100kgs.

But what exactly makes the bike worth circa R150k?

I mean, you can get top of the range frames and suspension for much less, plus and electric engine cost much less than a petrol one?  Only thing is the batteries? Surely its expensive, but not THAT expensive?

Maybe still big overhead on prototype/innovation - which is fair i suppose?

Also concerned about the vulnerability of the big rear rocket.

But i like and is interested :thumleft:
