First Ride: 2009 Zero X Electric Motorcycle

“In the end, we were extremely impressed by the 2009 Zero X electric motorcycle. Having ridden countless examples of both two- and four-stroke dirtbikes since the late ‘80s, we feel that the average rider wouldn’t be giving up any capability by choosing the X over a comparable gas-guzzler… riders who choose the Zero X will be rewarded by what’s likely the fastest electric dirtbike currently available. We walked away from the bike with the feeling that the company has succeeded in creating a truly competitive motorcycle that just so happens to feature a plug instead of a gas cap, and that’s likely the greatest compliment that could be given an electric two-wheeled vehicle in today’s world.”
