http://www.gizmag.com Zero Motorcycles was a surprise hit in 2008, selling out its stock of 'X' battery-electric motocross bikes much faster than expected and proving in the process that customers are well and truly ready to slap down the dollars for a quality electric off-roader. Now the company has announced the Zero S - a street-legal electric supermotard capable of 60mph and with a 60-mile range off a full 4-hour battery charge. At under USD$10,000 - before you get your 10% Federal plug-in vehicle credit - the Zero S joins the Vectrix electric maxi-scooter in the list of truly practical electric bikes capable of freeway speeds. And with a power-to-weight ratio almost identical to Suzuki's DR-Z400SM, it should be a bag of laughs to ride. If consumers liked the X, we reckon they'll go crazy to be the first on the block to ride this street-legal, lean, green giggle machine.en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/zero-s-motorcycles-supermoto-supermotard-electric/11423/#comment-1933 http://www.gizmag.com/zero-s-motorcycles-supermoto-supermotard-electric/11423/#comment-1933 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 00:19:11 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/zero-s-motorcycles-supermoto-supermotard-electric/11423/#comment-1906 http://www.gizmag.com/zero-s-motorcycles-supermoto-supermotard-electric/11423/#comment-1906 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:41:47 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/zero-s-motorcycles-supermoto-supermotard-electric/11423/#comment-1888 http://www.gizmag.com/zero-s-motorcycles-supermoto-supermotard-electric/11423/#comment-1888 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:33:00 -0500
