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.

By this time Arlen's son Cory had become a well-respected and reputable bike builder himself, designing his first bike in his mid teens.
