This belongs in the " Jokes, Jokes, and more Jokes " section.....

From the story.....

"With 62.5 foot-pounds of torque on tap, the Zero S has significantly more grunt than, say, the KTM 690 SMC."

"An extra pack for the Zero X - which uses a 2 kilowatt-hour pack - costs $3,000.

The Zero S will cost $9,950 "

I got $13k wrapped up in a bike and battery?

No thanks

Thats the prob with this electic stuff, once the batts are done the car is worth ZERO.

Puts a new meaning on throw-away car.

Someday it will be a viable option. Look at the Tesla electric sports car for an example. Not yet but it will be affordable in our future someday soon.
