Zero to X with 50 ft-lbs. of Torque

This is not your old-school electric scooter. It is a true dirt bike that can race up hills, fly over jumps and scare you if you’re not careful. The 2009 Zero X electric motorcycle is faster, stronger and more durable than the previous version. The manufacturer, Zero Motorcycles, Inc. upgraded everything from the frame to the drivetrain. Could you imagine having all that motorcycle fun without the 2-stroke sound? When someone yells to get your attention, you will actually hear him or her as you jump through the air.

The Zero X also has a programmable power feature. You can limit the top speed to a legal 30 mph for a motorized bicycle, and go between easy and wheelie poppin’ sport mode.

Watch the video of this thing after the jump…

… it is really weird to see, and listen to the fact that the sound is not there! The motorcycle race was amazing, and the wheelies were "spot-on!" MSRP for the Sport model is $7,450 and the Extreme model is $9,300. Additional batteries run $2,950 and chargers are $449. T-Shirts are $18, available at www.zeromotorcycles.com/store. If you own one of these, comment to this post, as I am curious to know more…
