Zec00
The
new Zec00 is the wet dream of a child’s sci-fi fantasy. Unlike most electric
motorcycle ideas, the Zec00 is using a motor from California’s Zero
Motorcycles, with proven technology that is readily available and which more
importantly actually works, to produce an electric motorcycle that is more than
just simply a concept.
With
its odd looks heralded as being suited to the machines unique electronic
architecture, the bike features a hub centre steering mechanism with a vertical
twin frame, designed to accommodate the battery’s weight to allow the rider to
maintain steering ability without changing the rider’s posture.
It’s
not too short of speed for the roads either, with a claimed top speed of 99 mph
and 144 nm of torque. It offers plenty of usability every day with a claimed
range of 99 miles, which should get you around comfortably on an average trip.
Just
don’t look to go touring on it as you’ll be waiting a while at pit stops, with
the battery taking four hours from a 200 volt terminal, eight hours if you’re
unfortunate enough to find yourself drawing juice from a 100 volt plug.
Each
motorcycle is handmade and customisable to each customer’s individual
requirements, with a limited total production run of only 49 machines; however,
the bike has a hefty starting price of 8,880,000 yen which is about £ 49,000. So you’ll need pretty deep pockets
if you’re going to get one.
