2010 Zero S Electric Motorcycle - Natural Sound

[poopRscoop14]

The hardest part of riding and electric bike is telling your parents youre gay

[Motorsheep]

All I'm gonna miss when these things eventually replace gas-powered bikes is the sound of Harley Davidson engines.

I think Zero are making some great bikes, and it is impressive that the bikes can still be fast and fun to ride, especially with only been electric, so I salute you Zero for that! My only problem is with the road going version of the bikes is that, there is no noise, and in my experience noise saves lives!!! My Buell XB12R firebolt can be heard from far away, and when near other cars etc they are aware of my presence and then look out for me! It's hard enough to get noticed by stupid drivers!

@lukie69 You can put an after market noise generator on it, if you want. Bottom line is with electric vehicles, you are no longer a pawn of the oil companies throwing your cost of operation into to the unknown. Batteries will only get better and the range will keep increasing.

it would be easy to lose a cop in the city

[Erekai]

It may be fun to ride around on for an afternoon, but I'd rather feel the rumble and hear the roar of my gas-powered motorcycle. :)

And if the design is what bothers you, just give one luk to Brammo Empulse.......... It really luks awesome!!!!!!!

[anshumanabhisek]

And BTW, even if they own million dollars worth ultra powerful fuel guzzlers and noise pollution generators, they cannot even enjoy it without visiting a race track or Autobahn..... so why waste so much money on them...... Bike is rather more handy in the town and EVs are so cheap and have enough OOmph to keep up with the city traffic with virtually no maintenance and refilling costs..........

[anshumanabhisek]

Isn't it such a cheap excuse made by orthodox farting vehicles' owner who love waiting at the gas station every now & then paying huge sum of money for refilling, to say that it (EVs) would get you killed because it makes no noise???????

@anshumanabhisek

the bigger problem is they are slower than the fastest turtle. and they can go about as far as a fat man can run.

But now make me a Killacycle and ill own that fucker in a heatbeat!!

[239riders]

people in cars will not hear them and it will get people killed

[wiredforstereo]

@239riders Motorcyclists get killed because people don't look. There's no street legal exhaust that can be heard driving in a car unless you're tailgating.

[Liv2xplore]

For people saying these are "silent killers" these things have their own distinctive sound signature to them. The chain noise is part of it, so is the whine of the electric motor. Yes it's quieter than an ICE bike, but most new cars are much quieter than an ICE bike, too. As for the idiots that don't see motorcycles, that isn't going to stop.

[zmann80000]

do you need a motorcycle license to drive one of these

[HuskyLover09]

@zmann80000 sure u do

it has around 30hp and makes +-60miles an hour^^

so u need a license

[physiques]

That was one crappy video. If your commercials are going to be anything like this, save your money. The idea is great, the video is below amateurish!

[banjrmn]

what's the scraping/rattling sound?

[fofalooza]

@banjrmn It sounds like chain noise, but it's hard to say. I'm not used to not hearing a motor :) I so want the trail bike version of this

[TheSteelTech]

need to put some cards in the spokes...

[gr8mikeY]

Pretty cool! I want one!

[MrJonnyKilljoy]

I want one too :D
