If you are worried that the zero emission trend influenced only the cars, trucks and vans, then fear no more. Many motorcycle manufacturers are trying to keep up with the demand for the quiet, fast and efficient transport by electrifying their motorcycle lineup.
While some enthusiasts deny buying motorbikes that don’t produce the iconic motor sound, there are many riders, who enjoy the instant torque that all electric motorcycles have. Who do you support?

At 1:54 “forget about awkward shapes…” Really? and this design is “gentile” on the eyes? What clown designs these bikes anyways? A bike should not look like some Alien nightmarish vision…neither should it look like a 30s art deco…nor a rolling jukebox with colored flashing lights & chrome everywhere.
Gay!
Electric good for all transportation in the universe I call high tech neon gas it the best of the best the world need to change.
I like the FXS. The price and performance are highly competitive with gas bikes. Specially “twist and go”, like the Honda automatic bikes or maxi-scooters, and in torque it smokes them all.
I have Zero dealership just 3 miles from my house. No need to pre-order some bike from Europe I’ve never tested. Batteries in the FXS are easily exchangeable, so you can have an extra full battery waiting at home, and you can ride again in 2 minutes. When I can afford it I will get one, no question.
I don’t think I could enjoy a silent bike. I twitch the throttle on my street triple r just to hear roar. It’s a large part of the experience
11:00 “Panoramic roof” — WAT?
Awesome bikes , i love electric but Lithium mining has tones of emissions so theyre not zero emissions. Still less than gas which is is great but not zero.
Governments need to make more incentives to make electronic vehicles attractive to consumers
wtf is “Panoramic roof ” at 11:00 ?
Johammer looks like the flying toaster from the force awakens^^
Wow!
So Here is how to improve the mileage add a “turbine” that spins while driving think electric “windmills” charging as you go 🙂 <3
I hope we will see more bikes like the Ego and LS218
The Johammer is the fuckin’ ugliest thing on two wheels I’ve ever seen
Yeah, the “hand crafted” shit will go right out the window when it reaches mass production.
I think that, based on where we are right now tecnology wise, and based on the fact that bikes most of the time are used for shorter distance, elettric bikes make more sense than elettric cars, but damn I fucking want a motorcycle not a fucking iphone on wheels also fucking 2 seats because even the piaggio “ciao” had 2 seats is not that hard to make a good looking 2 seater.
sorry but until range/charge times are address I’m not interested… and by time does are address…. they’ll be out of reach for the common public for most.
The only one worth anything is the Zero SR.
I just test rode a Zero SR and a DS, and I left with… wait for it…. ZERO complaints! I was blown away by the torque of the SR, and I will probably be buying a DSR within the next year.
26k, F you.
that Joe johammer is so ugly it looks like a fucking carnival ride
Wow super bikes!! I want to buy one.
These are beautiful. I think though that if people wanted something to just ride around town then the Daymak EM1 would be the way to go. They are $1999 US and look beautiful. Classified as an electric bike, no licence, plates, insurance, needed. Why pay $77,000 or even $8000 ?
verynice
Fuck gas
It’s no wonder Elc Bikes will never make it, the prices are just out of hand ! Dam
the first one is ugly AF
The Johammer is seriously the ugliest vehicle I think I’ve ever seen.
well,here wo come to the worst bikes times…
All right for commuting, But that’s where it ends……………….
And the Lacama is a better representation of the E-bike. and L-218 is ‘The one.’
i can agree with electric cars but not with motorcycles. no wheelies no clutch kicks no real burnouts and engine sound
Electric Aprilia RS125
Johammer! What a fucken joke, it looks like Jason Poole from Orange County Choppers designed it? Yes it really is that shit looking.
if you park the johammer in someone’s driveway they might spray it with Raid
The Johammer looks like ass!!! I noticed how they’re making these electric motorcycles in order to try and take out these gas operated motorcycles. Trying to go into the future already I see
6-8-10-12
I think Zero sr accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.something seconds
As long as the prices are that high I will buy a gasoline bike: I only need a small one for city commute (my current bike, 125CC is more than enough for the round the clock slow traffic and dangerously bad roads) and with the the price difference I can get way more than two years worth of petrol. I can take a standard gas bike into any garage and they know how to fix it and spare parts are widely available. Ergo, electric bikes are going to be luxury vehicles for many years to come, especially as long as manufacturers don’t think people in the market for their first bike.
Zero FXS
Zero Fucks
That makes sense
Voltu V1?
the johammer looks soo idiotic/stupid yuck!!!
