Zero Emissions Electric Motorcycle

Zero Motorcycles is the fastest high performance all electric motorcycle made in the world. It can out race most gas powered motorcross bikes and has been in production for almost two years. All American made as well.

Did you know that even when charged off of a coal-heavy grid, an electric vehicle produces anywhere from 1/8th to 1/2 the emissions of a gas powered vehicle depending on weight, due to the much higher energy efficiency of the electric motor? That's also taking into account the waste that occurs when electricity is transmitted over powerlines. An 85-90% efficient electric motor simply uses drastically less energy than a 15-35% efficient internal combustion engine.

How do you think they make Hydrogen cell ?? with electricity..... even worst emmision than electric vehicle.. transforming coal into electricity and then into hydrogen...

[gilessmokey]

yes,keep it real.

In no way does it even compare to a current MX machine...get real!

I'm a jet pilot, one armed oyster shucker and can leap tall buildings in a single bound. It says zero emissions, not less emissions

sounds more like someone is pissed off cause they are not good enough.

okay alvin, you can go have fun at community college learning about how gas ignites in cylinders. Whoop de doo, i know what fucking internal combustion engines are. Good luck with your amazing technical knowledge while you wish you could get laid. Your completely spewing shit out of your ass because your not trying to prove a relevant point anymore.

[AwesomeAlvin]

And in order to achieve those numbers, you need a lot of technical knowledge. And I doubt any of you ignorant people has any technical understanding of internal combustion or electric fields.

I am a 4th year mechanical engineering undergraduate, and have participated in design,testing, breaking 3 race cars from ground up. unlike racers who bolt parts to an existing car, me and my team designs vehicles from ground up (chassis, suspension, pedals, brakes, steering, dt etc). I am nothing compared to Neil (Founder of Zero), who is a former Nasa engineer who design and built some unbelievable machines. In the engineering field, in order to prove your point you need numbers.

spudaso is not ignorant, so stfu dumbass. The vast majority of electricity made in the world is produced by burning fossil fuel. At the end of the day this thing releases CO2 by using electricity. I guess it's an improvement but spudaso is right, there is no such thing as zero emmisions. Electricity isn't the answer, especially if we start using it more and more, because larger amounts of electricity will need to be produced, plus electricity is almost impossible to efficiently store.
