A good buddy and I, both of us avid motorcyclists, popped into the 2nd Gear Motorcycle shop to test ride the all-electric Zero Motorcycle. Kent Aubichon, Zero Motorcycles Canadian sales manager let us take the bike out for a little ride around the Coquitlam neighbourhood.
Here is a little video I shot of my impressions and observations about the Zero Motorcycle.
Final parting shots, the bike as equipped sells for approximately $11,000. It has a top speed of something like 140 km/h and has a city riding range of around 180 km.
As I said in the video, I need more acceleration power to get me into the saddle of one of these machines.

Where would I keep the dogs while I was zipping about at 140 km/hour? Does it come with a sidecar option?
No sidecar option. Sometimes it is nice to get away from the dogs etc for a short while. The 140 kmh top speed is not a sustainable top speed, it is only for short bursts. It would be a great commuter bike If you lived in the Fraser Valley and needed to commute into the city.
