Jay Leno had a look at the Zero S electric motorcycle and had Zero’s founder, Neal Saiki by to explain the bike. Saiki gives some good commentary on the new motorcycle and some great information on several factors that are misunderstood regarding EVs versus regular machines.
For instance, the 32hp motorcycle is equivalent to a 50hp gasoline bike and weighs about 1/3 less than a comparable bike. He also explains why the Zero S has a top speed of only 60mph and why they didn’t ad gearing to make it go faster.
This explanation is important, so pay attention…Â Â Details, Pictures & Video
