The newest Zero electric motorcycles will go around 100 miles at real highway speeds, which isn't bad compared to most small-tank gas motorcycles (although obviously lack of refueling options is an issue). I do think they're a good illustration of the cost issue, though, as they're astronomically expensive.
- gonesilent 8y agoF Zero motorcycles, supported them buying one of the first production bikes and now it sits with a dead battery and zero no longer sells replacments shafting all it's first gen bike owners.
- bri3d 8y agoWow, now that I am looking this up the pre-2012 Zero bikes used Molicell LiMn2O4 batteries instead of more common LiFePO4s (see A123) or ubiquitous LiCoO2 batteries. This gives them a deeper voltage range and makes them require some form of reengineering to replace with more modern battery technology, which really does suck.
