It looks like an ordinary street or dirt bike, and TV personality Jay Leno owns one. But compared to a gasoline driven one it’s a very different set of wheels. The Zero X totally electric motorbike may help solve our desire for clean, environmentally friendly transportation. Developed in California, where environmental transportation problems have been around for years, the Zero, a product of Zero Motorcycles Inc, Santa Cruz Ca., is also one of the lightest motorcycles around. The qualities of this motorbike which can get you around for up to two hours at 50 KPH, and with top speeds over 95, it’s no wonder this environmental friendly cycle is attracting so much attention.
This new entry into the transportation field can reach reach 50 Kph in only two seconds! What’s more, the total weight for the bike’s 300 parts is only 140 pounds (68 kgm), including the specially designed lithium cell battery, which its makers say is 100% recyclable.
The low weight of either the X dirt bike or S street bike frame is due to their being manufactured of specially designed aircraft aluminum. Each cycle has a unique suspension system that makes it an absolute pleasure to ride.
And being totally electric, the bike will run for pennies due to the very low electricity rates that can be generated by solar and wind bower. Those interested in simply a low cost transportation solution will like the S street bike as it can get them around for hours on one charge. The X dirt bike, will zip riders up and down sand dunes, river bottoms, and hills on an engine that delivers 50 ft pounds of torque – enough to satisfy any weekend dirt-biker. And it also comes with fully adjustable suspension and hydraulic disc brakes.
Price for the X model dirt bike is $7,450 and $9,900 for the S model street version. Both versions come with the special Z-Force™ Li-Ion Power Pack battery and Z-Force™ Li-Ion Fast Charger. They can be shipped anywhere in USA by UPS for only $300, or worldwide, as per prevailing shipping prices. For worldwide customers, all inclusive prices, including customs duties and other taxes are available on request.
The new motorbike may be an environmental godsend for large cities with high air pollution problems, such as Cairo Egypt, Mexico City, and Bangkok Thailand. And perhaps the same technology can also be incorporated into an electric car that is both light weight as well as non-polluting. After all, if there is already an X Bike, why not an X-Car?
