Zero-X elmotorcykel provkörd.

Hoppa till kommentarer

Läs följande artikel där man har provkört den nya el-MCn “Zero-X“. Den väcker habegäret i en och man hoppas ju att modellerna skall komma på löpande band. Det visar sig att priserna har gått ned så pass att när det gäller motorprestanda så får man enligt artikeln mer för pengarna när man köper el-MC än vanlig bensinbåge. Då borträknat den mindre räckvidden och reservdelskostnader, men å andra sida… det är ju klart färre saker som kan gå sönder på en elektrisk båge än en bensindriven.

In an early part of the test-drive, I turned the throttle a bit and found myself heading toward Saiki, but I hit the brakes and avoided hitting a dumpster. It was definitely faster than I expected, and this was when I had the governor on, which slows acceleration and maxes the top speed at 30 miles per hour. (James Martin, CNET photographer, sort of sideswiped the rear wall of a restaurant in his initial foray.)

But after about 10 minutes, I felt fairly comfortable and switched off the governor. The bike zipped to 30 miles per hour and faster in a few seconds. At 120 pounds, it was also somewhat easy to maneuver and balance.

Even better, though, was the sound. Unlike regular motorcycles, the tinny, sharp whine is completely absent. The only sound comes from the chain. If you could put something like this in a snowmobile, the raging controversy over those might end.
