I still think these bikes are WAY too expensive--almost 2x in my opinion with the top models costing over $15K, but then again, somebody has to pave the way. I'm excited about where electric motorcycles will be in just another 2 to 5 years and expect to see some very viable options for under $10K.

Here's a good long-term real-world read on an e-bike.

It wouldn't surprise me if Castle creations (from KC) gets subbed out to put one of their Mamba motors in a bike someday. Their motors put out crazy power along with efficiency.

PERFECT for someone with 10+ acres and neighbors as you could lightly tread around your property without bothering neighbors at all. Other than that, just too many disadvantages over traditional bikes. I really loved riding the 2011 Zero DS when I got to demo it.

Troy you could get it and ride it in your neighborhood, UNLESS you were to add any high-performance mods.

Adding more fun to the topic, LAPD will begin testing electric Motorcycles made by both Brammo and Zero.

I will admit that it did give me a better outlook the zero bike, it was more real world video!
