sounds like the rider skill level may have been a bit mismatched, and track was suited for electrics, but still, an awesome result.

some specs on the zero-mx
weight 71kg
power 23hp
torque 68Nm
range up to 2hrs40

more specs here

interesting!

ok i voted before id read the articles...nawty nawty...now id say
when theyre sorted id be keen, be a bit of a shame not having the
sounds and feel of internal combustion engine power tho

I told you guys. Its not far away from being a realistic race machine. Zero have come a long way in a short time.

**EJK** · 23rd October 2009, 13:22

That's almost a Ducati 900 Monster equivalent amount of torque from a 71kg machine!

They should include a built in amp which plays any bikes engine sound of your choice.

haha, yeah, the adb test was favorable but dirt action magazine said they had a loong way to go especially with the suspension. Personally, i think they are for faggots.

I can't imagine suspension would be too much of a worry, thr technologys already there from current bikes just need a little tweaking. It would be battery life that I would be querying, and how long before this life starts to deteriorate?

Any bikes a good bike aint it Secondfield? Or are you just sour coz you can't ride over there?

**flyingcr250** · 23rd October 2009, 15:54

can i plug my i-pod in to it??

**gazmascelle** · 23rd October 2009, 18:06

I don't care if my bike runs on petrol, electricity, or horse shit. As long as it goes when i want it to

And the 4 stroke will die again.

Battery life I'd say would be about 1-2 years.

its a mountain bike you dont have to pedel.

**bogan** · 23rd October 2009, 21:54

4 strokes are gonna be killed by that new type of two stroke soon anyway arent they? Im hoping so cos two strokes are fucking epic, I think i shall program a two stoke powerband into an electric bike. Then these new two strokes will be killed by electrics, which will then be killed by something more awesome

**kezzafish** · 23rd October 2009, 22:08

going by that video it looks like it still lacks massively in the power stakes. And when they make it powerful enough the batteries their using now will last about 15 mins. But no doubt they'll get there
