Brings new meaning to 'plug and play'
|
YOU MAY have seen the Zero X off-road bike that debuted last year with an
impressive list of abilities for a battery-powered dirtbike, well now the
company that make it have said that they are so impressed with sales so far they
are now going to build a street-legal version.
The Zero X is capable of a 40-mile range after two-hours being plugged into
the mains. Last year the bike was selling for just under £3,500 with the
company selling all the stock they can build.
And now Zero Motorcycles is reportedly looking for enough funding to undergo
expansion which will include a road bike. The new Zero S on-road electric
motorcycle that the company is currently rolling outl will come complete with
everything needed to register it on the street, including lights and
indicators, and is expected to be available this summer.
According to Zero Motorcycles the battery unit used on the new bike
contains 168 individual lithium ion cells and is expected to endure six years of hard
riding.
