While car manufacturers are still trying to shoe-horn bricks full of lithium ion into an electric vehicle that can actually last for more than a trip to the grocery store and back, the guys at Zero Motorcycles have done away with the extra wheels, thrown practicality into the wind, and designed an electric motorcycle that will run around town all day on a single charge.
Though the company’s popular Zero X dirtbike has been tearing (uncharacteristically quietly) around back lots and fire trails since last year, the Zero S will represent the company’s first foray into street-legal motorcycles. It has adapted the off-road design of the original to that of a supermoto bike: half dirt, and half street.
