The range is a quite reasonable 60
miles, so this machine can be used for almost all your daily travel needs on a

Due to the low price of
electricity compared to gasoline, the maker of the Zero S says it could travel
from Los Angeles to New York on $30 of electricity. That's pretty cheap, but

Street Legal
Zero has had off road
high performance electric motorbikes available for a while now, but the Zero S
is the first fully street legal electric bike with this kind of performance.
Silent Speed
The motorcycle is given
its name from both the emissions and the noise it makes: Zero in both cases.
For trail bike riding in the great outdoors, these are definitely a huge
advantage. However having been in a couple of motorcycle accidents myself, I
find the louder a bike is, the safer the rider.
Made In America
These bikes are made in
the United States, and the batteries come from Canada. So if you're looking for
a new bike or a cheaper alternative to a new electric car,
this could be a great choice. Just make sure you have all your safety gear.
The street version will
cost under $10,000, and the off-road version, the Zero X, costs under $7,500.
The actual price may vary from these estimates.
