車体が91kgで、バッテリが113kgなのかどうなのか。
バッテリの重さが解消できれば、爆発的に普及しそうな雰囲気ね。
映像見るとわかりますが、加速は良いようです。（乗り手によるが）
下の解説（アンダーライン）には、「2st125ccと同等のパワーかな」と書いてある。
モーターの方がトルクが有るので、2stエンジンよりツキは良いような気がする。
走行音は電動モーターなので、電動ラジコンのようにショボイですね（笑）
車両価格は100万円くらいで、オンロードモデルもラインナップにあるようです。
Racing Mitchell Cycle's 2012 Zero MX electric dirt bike at Chicopee Ski in Kitchener Ontario for Motomotion's XC championship tour. Video is one full lap of the 2 hour long race. Kill switch delayed on the dead engine start but I charged my way through the pack to catch up.

Matt and Mitchell Cycle brought out the new 2012 Zero electric dirt bike to The Summers compound for some evening test laps. This bike is such a huge leap forward from last years. Honestly i would say it has about the same power as a 125 two stroke. Not quite up to par with the 250 but there is some programming you can do that could bring it to that point. It really is a bike you have to ride to believe. Its has insane low to mid rang torque. With a few suspension adjustment his bike could be very competitive. Looking forward to see what this company comes out with in the future.
