Apr 15, 2012 - I partially agree. I think electric superbikes are the future, and I like them. They just need to put a subwoofer onto them to make the engine noise :D

Apr 10, 2012 - I would love to have one of these Bikes so that way when I riding threw the Mountain back roads and Country Roads I can hear all the sounds I would be missing if I had a gas powered Bike and Yes until they can get a longer range like 600 to 1000 miles then I have to wait because I don't want to have to stop and recharge every 2-3 hours,Me I am an Iron Hide a ride all Year round that's why I am saying this

THETRUECRASHMONKEY Says:

Apr 10, 2012 - @gasdive,You Don't live in California Do You because if You did then You would know that Commuting back and Forth to work is soo far MORE than 5 Miles,I alone know of 800 Bikers that drive way more than that I alone rode 80 miles back and forth to work and then when I got off work and went home and changed cloths I wanted to ride some More. No Offense Brother but Your NOT A BIKER if You ride 5 miles a day park the Bike and get your ass a Bicycle end of subject!!!

Dec 10, 2011 - " im talking a touring style bike. 350 is the absolute maximum that probably anyone would do on a bike in a day." When I toured Australia on a motorbike, I was averaging 800km (500miles) per day and my biggest day was 1150km (715miles).

BravoAlphaSix Says:

Nov 29, 2011 - Also my commute is upwards of 80 miles back and forth every day. I want those extra miles where I can get them.

BravoAlphaSix Says:

Nov 29, 2011 - Like I said, 350 is way over what anyone is doing a day, but that is what gas can do (average), so when they match the standard.

gasdive Says:

Nov 29, 2011 - Yes, sorry, I'm embroiled in a couple of these discussions and I forgot which video I was on. Most of the output from Zero has been dirt bikes. Last big ride I did in my CBR1000 was 383 miles, that was a big day. Still, that was 10 years ago and I've done nothing like that since. In reality the average distance ridden by USA bikes in regular use is only 1800 miles and the average commute distance, only 5 miles each way for 10 miles total. 100 miles range is really plenty.

BravoAlphaSix Says:

Nov 28, 2011 - No no, not dirtbikes, im talking a touring style bike. 350 is the absolute maximum that probably anyone would do on a bike in a day. And I mean absolute. If you drive 350 miles a day, then damn. I want everymile i can get.

gasdive Says:

Nov 28, 2011 - How often do you actually ride 350 miles in a day? We're talking dirtbikes here. Even in the Dakar they don't have many stages longer than that and they have supply dumps where you could change batteries. Last year they had only one stage over 350 miles. Are you riding a Dakar bike now and finding the range limiting your fun? The 2012 DS has a range of 100 miles and will 95% recharge in as little as 2 hours (with optional chargers)

BravoAlphaSix Says:

Nov 28, 2011 - Youve got a very good point there When the batteries of the near future can last ~350 miles a charge, then charge them at night, that will be when I buy one.

quelorepario Says:

Nov 28, 2011 - What I clearly meant is that the technology of improving energy density might eventually make daily charging needless, far surpassing the mileage of combustion based vehicles.

gasdive Says:

Nov 28, 2011 - As a commuter my Zero DS is much faster than any petrol bike simply because I just jump on and go.  All petrol bikes need to be warmed up for a few minutes. By that time I'm nearly at my destination!

gasdive Says:

Nov 28, 2011 - I've got a Zero DS. The parts of them made by Zero are outstanding quality, far better than anything I've seen on a mass produced bike. The parts they buy like the headlight are not good quality, they're just as bad as on other mass produced bikes!

gasdive Says:

Nov 28, 2011 - No, the batteries in a modern electric like the Zero are completely non toxic. You could eat them. They're certified for landfill but you wouldn't because they're too valuable to recycle.

gasdive Says:

Nov 28, 2011 - No, electric bikes are much *lighter* not heavier. The Zero XU is 221 pounds ready to roll. Electric motors are lighter than petrol motors and make more power per kg. Power is far from "low". The Zero XU is about the same as a 250 single (but just over half the wieght), the SWIGZ race bike makes about the same power as a MotoGP bike and does 190 mph.

gasdive Says:

Nov 28, 2011 - generally much cheaper to repair than petrol bikes.
