Electric Dirt Bike anyone?

ZERO X Electric Motorcycle - Features || ZERO MOTORCYCLES

So maybe this is the future of adventure motorcycling... then again with a range of only 40 miles or 2 hours, maybe not! A silent bike would also take a bit of getting used to, but at only 68.5kg, this would be a lot of fun off road!

Still, its a nice idea and quite a sharp looking bike. There's also a street version too. Anyone ridden one of them?

Electrci bikes

Dont knock them till you have tried them, we sell theses bikes along with other top of the range electric vechicles, great fun to ride.

May take one to Ripley this year. Just need five charging stations on the way.

I bet it won't be too long before we see some proper overland trips via electric vehicles on this forum. And that'll be cool.

I've signed up for a test ride BTW!
