Looks interesting. No weight listed, 93 mile range, may need larger seat.

I rode a Zero S and thought it was a hoot.
A guy on another forum rode the Energica and said it will leave the Zero for dead.  :smiley:
Electric is coming.. but not here yet without the infrastructure.
At current levels of 6-8% a year increase in density, in 50 years it will equal gasoline. I'm betting it will be less than that.

cool, but $40,000 if you add Ohlins and spoked wheels.

I like the EGO w/Italian paint more but still $40k

Cutting edge tech always is. Remember the $5000 TV that you can now buy for $500?  :smiley:

Doug reckons they're insane! I reckon they'd be a huge barrel of fun. First electric bike I've seen that looks serious. Its the equivalent of a flat tank IC motorbike from the turn of the twentieth century! Imagine what they're going to be like in 30 years time if bikes haven't been legislated off the road!
