Zero FX

Rode a Zero FX today. Pretty cool. Popped a wheelie on accident leaving the dealer parking lot. Very lofty front end. If you get a chance to ride an electric bike, do it.

must be strange to pop a wheelie without the sound of traditional revs. i've seen more and more of these around SF...figures

It was strange. Felt like I was operating a big RC radio controlled bike/car, while being on top of it. The motor and electrical sounds you get are also very similar to an RC car. $0.01 per mile they say.

This is the one I rode. The seat hight is mx bike equivalent, which I liked.

Shitty shitty range.

As much as I like petrol bikes I'm keen to have a go on that electrical freeride.
But since we all need to be green in Australia and pay carbon tax some smart KTM importer/manager decided we don't need that here.
