[14omega28ok]

You dumb fucks are so annoying. Quit hating on these things as Not just liberals for Environment like them. I am far more country then you ever will be, and Have owned more ATV's and More Dirt bikes then any of you ever will. and I love the Idea of Electric. As its fucking Cheaper and is very powerful (Maybe not this one). Pretty soon ( Real soon) these things will abso fucking lutely blow the doors off a Gas Bike. So you idiots need to shut the fuck up

[ihateregistering2322]

I dont know guys i wouldnt mind a silent ride after zing zing zing zing zing of a two stroke ll day and vroom (ballsy) sound of a 4 stroke all day.

plus when the electric bikes start flaming the petrol ones whatcha gonna do.

[1316bmx]

thats lame.

[basplya04]

We got to test this bike as well as the swiss made one and they both are crap the battery life is 2 hours tops with a 16 hour charge time they are not worth the money great idea but until they develop a better battery that is more rugged and controls that wont break so easy it just is not worth it maybe in a few more years..

[gasdive]

@basplya04 You might not like them, but that's just a straight out flat lie. What's the point of posting something that is so easy to refute? This one is under 3 hours to recharge. The 2012 one is 3.1 hours or 2 hours with the optional quick charger. Why say "16 hour charge time"? Do you have some sort of vested interest?

[basplya04]

@gasdive We, as in the company i work for tested them along with the quantya model they say up to 8 hours of ride time not true you get 2 hours at the most before it struggles to maintain speed and yea it doesn't take 16 hours to recharge i was being sarcastic because it takes up2 6 hours. i'm not downing the bike i think they are fun but everything is really cheaply made and the controls are easy to break like i said a few more years and it will be better no need to get your panties in a bunch.

[gasdive]

@basplya04 I've never seen zero claim "up to 8 hours" or is that more "sarcasm"? Nor does it take "up to 6 hours" to charge (unless that's more sarcasm). It takes 2 hours to recharge this one and up to 3 hours to recharge the current one. You can swap batteries in under a minute and if you've got two you can charge one while the you ride the other. If you buy the extra charger then it's an hour and a half. The controls are standard motorcycle and no harder to break than any other.

[hondakid177]

looks like a 30 year old on a offbrand 65 in a 85 frame to me

[SPIRITintheBOTTLE]

when batteries become a bit cheaper I think these bikes could do alot for the sport, Average people that like the to ride dirt bikes but don't have the time or money to do rebuilds and all the maintenance on traditional bikes. what more can you want. E bikes will get much faster given time and development

[RatBastardCulhane]

The Music Sucks, Just like your prius bike~!!@@! Please,

remove this video from youtube. It's Offensive~!@!@

[RatBastardCulhane]

That's just soooo gay, I think I'm going to puke.~!!!!

I'll run you over, if I see you riding that gay little cousin'

to the prius. Stop trying to re-create the wheel. Oh, I am

going to be sick, gotta' go puke, thanks you liberal homo's~!!!@@

[CRASHem951]

thats crap 41 ppl think dirt biking is dangerous

[91jwalk91]

Finally, 2 and 4 stroke riders can come together for one common hatred, electric bikes!

[crzymonkey1000]

@91jwalk91 hell yes

[SkAterStaR94]

@91jwalk91 and now something 2-/4-strokes and electrical bike riders can come together for one common hatred, global warming! ;)

[berryessacougars34]

bro, i would rather my kx450 with a shit load a power then an electric bike, idk bout you guys but to me, i like my bike to SOUND powerful as it ISS powerful, instead of having an electric bike that may have the same poer as my bike, but definitly doesnt sound like it.

[TheChevyBigBlock]

@berryessacougars34 i agree sounds makes a big differance in bikes you know its mean when you hear not when you see it

[360kal]

ARE THESE BIKES street legal since they are electric ???

[gasdive]

@360kal No but there is a street legal version.

[berryessacougars34]

oh c'mon now guys! what happend to our old fashion 2 stroke and 4 stroke dirt bikes?! what happend to loving the smell when you kick start your bike and you can smell the gasoline? the power out of a traditional dirt bike? it's aokay to do it with cars but dirt bikes? it'll be so boring if there electric! just imagine watching the x-games with electric bikes! it'll be like watching golf!

[badSTI]

@berryessacougars34 i guess you dont understand Brushless Motor power, may not smell or make noice, but id take power over that anyday.

[oli696969]

check out quantya much nicer looking

[MXhansson]

thats one ugly looking bike

[hanoitwin]

@MXhansson So true, if this thing looked as good as the new ktm electric id get one.

[13herman]

i would miss the sound on the electric bike:(

[2008yz250f4ever]

man those new zero bikes are BAD ASSS looks like they have quite a bit of power! anyways great video

[64caloriesofawesome]

@2008yz250f4ever i rode (waht i'm assuming is) the same one in the this video at sandbox. it's got a decent amount of torque, but as soon as someone get's into about third, they'd murder you. even the A guys couldn't hit jumps 85 riders were doing on it. untill they figure out how to get more horsepower to the wheel, it's only gonna be useful as a trials bike.

[gilessmokey]

@64caloriesofawesome interesting,i would have thought trials much more suited to electric as they use much smaller amounts of energy and batteries still don`t have the capacity for mx or enduro, ie start using 30kw (40 hp) and batteries will flat in no time.

[gasdive]

@64caloriesofawesome There must have been something wrong with the "A guys" then.  It's about the same weight as an 85 and about double the horsepower.

[262nik]

how much do those things weigh

[gasdive]

@262nik 200 pounds ready to roll.

[babigurl1215]

awesome vid.
