ZERO Motorcycles
 Although Zero is not competing in next month's TTXGP, they
are still
one of the most successful Electric Motorcycle manufacturers to date.
It might even be argued that they are, to this date, still the only
company to design (from the ground up), manufacture and deliver any
actual quantity of Electric Motorcycles. There are a number of Motor
Scooter manufacturers that have been delivering their product for a few
years now, but Zero was the first to 100% design, manufacture and
deliver an
actual "dirt motorcycle" (Zero X - 2008), which has now been followed
up by the 2009 Zero X and Zero S (street
motorcycle).

became apparent to me that I was working to catch up in an era coming

Zero vs.
Quantya - or why I fear the
loathing in Las Vegas.
Everything was
better in 1969 - Before I start this story, I better

Harley Sportster. 1969 was a good year for motorcycles. Read more… |
