Springtime 07


Great time to get the bike back out on the road. I have my fathers bike from the 70's sitting in the garage just waiting to be cleaned up and tuned. Although it is probably a bit small and slow for the roads around here it is very cool. The Zero X Motorcycle pictured here was designed from the ground up to be a 100% electric bike. What makes this battery bike different is that it contains 168 individual lithium cells and is expected to endure six years of hard riding? Also, according to the manufacturer the Zero X battery unit is 100% recyclable and landfill approved. Never heard that claim before. You can buy one from the company’s Website. A standard bike costs $7,450, plus $300 for shipping across the US. I think that the shipping probably diminishes the green position a bit, so maybe you should go pick one up. Luke, this would be great for the Dominican. There is a lot going for it but man, they could use some design help.
