I don’t understand why Tesla does not buy a company like Zero and rebrand it Tesla Zero and produce superior electric motors and battery packs for their motorcycles and just sell and distribute from the same web site and distribution centers that they use for their cars. They could do the same thing with Electric Bicycles.

@@AV8R_1 It is innovation to put more resources into the Zero team and to give them access to superior electric motors and battery packs from Tesla and to give them an entirely new distribution channel to sell the Zero motorcycle products. Besides, when Tesla acquires existing companies like Solar City and Maxwell Technology, they do so to speed up innovation, not merely to add the Tela name to it.

New tech vs old tech. There isn't anything innovate or new about the 400 which is produced by a Motorsport giant. Zero is new to the game in comparison to red, green and blue. With zero you're still paying for R&D on new tech, R&D for the rainbow teams has been covered for 20 years and they're just taking in profit. The people that buy Zeros bikes now will be paving the way for the lower cost "ninja 400" model that comes out years from now.

Revolt intellicorp has launched electric bikes in India. The base model RV300 is priced at $1553, and the amount is to be deposited in 37 installments of around $42 each. Just pay $42 and take your bike, no hidden costs and nothing. The bike can run approx 156km in full charge in economy mode (speed restricted to 45km/hr), and 80km in Nitro mode (speed locked to 85km/hr). Battery takes just 4.5hrs to charge from 0 to 100%. Even comes with a speaker which can produce 3 types of different superb bike sounds. The best thing is, they're providing ZERO cost of running for 3 years, anything from tyre replacement to battery replacement will be done free cost. And there is also a feature of battery swapping, where the user can simply swap the battery from the nearest Revolt bike store, while on ride, when he is unable to charge the battery. That too at zero price. I wish brands could enter the market with same strategy, so that more people could afford it and our environment could be saved.

Matthew Storms you have that backwards. Torque is meaningless. Torque is a static force devoid of time. Written as foot pounds. HP is a measure of work. Written as foot pounds per second. More torque means more HP at a lower rpm. hence the quick off the line acceleration. Once the engine is wound up it has little power.

@@KTMcaptain yes, but I would prefer torque over hp at any time as I don't cross 100mph. So anything over a 50 hp is useless. But if you increase torque, hp also increases GENERALLY. Electric motors provide high torque without high hp, perfect for me. But I prefer gears.
@KTMcaptain
@KTMcaptain 5 жыл бұрын
​@@ritwikreddy5670 I don't think you understand the dichotomy of torque and horsepower. Horsepower is a measure of work. It is how much weight you can move in a given period of time. Torque doesn't describe how long it took to build up the force. It could take 10 years or 10 seconds to build 1,000,000 ft lbs. One has 0.00004 HP, and the other has 1,142 HP. So you can take a long stick and generate more torque than a semi-tractor engine, yet cannot move the load anywhere near as fast. 80 ft lbs at 1000 rpm is only 15HP. You need 3,000 rpm in order to make 46 hp. ((46/80)*5252 algebraically change rpm to X and rewrite HP=(RPM*TQ)/5252 in order to find what rpm it takes to make 46HP with 80ft lbs). So when you look at road speed vs engine/motor speed, you'd need to be doing about 51mph in order to make the 46hp ((85/5000)*3000=51). But, the motor makes 46hp at 4,300 rpm per Zero's website, which means you don't have full power until 72.5mph ((85/5000)*4300). Furthermore, guestimating utilizing my statistical software to create interpolated data, the motor makes 68 ft lbs of torque at 2,500 rpm which is 32hp at 42mph. (At 85 mph, 124.7 feet per second, with a tire circumference of 6.68 feet, the wheel must rotate 18.7 times per second or 84 revolutions per second of the motor considering the gear reduction. That is 5000 rpm @ 85mph) You're also missing a vastly important fact. Gearing can increase or decrease the torque at the wheel. An electric single speed bike is stuck in a high gear ratio. Compared to my previous 55hp 35 ft lbs bike, First gear is 2.43:1 gear ratio and 3.7:1 FD (9.03:1 total reduction). Zero FX is a 4.5:1 reduction. So 80 ft lbs in at 4.5:1 yields 360 ft lbs while a 35 ft lbs engine with a lower gear reduction generates 316 ft lbs. So a 129% torque advantage is reduced to 14%. Ultimately you want good torque, as it yields more HP at a lower RPM and generally reflects a higher average (not peak) HP across gear ratios. But what matters is your average HP, as Horsepower is 550 pounds moved a foot every second. It is torque within a defined interval.

I've been riding electric bikes for 6 years in Shanghai. you can get a 60v 1200W motor bike/scooter for 1800 CNY. That's 250 USD. These can go up to 55 km/h stock, without any motor or controller upgrades, but in the city, even when you're racing past the cars and traffic, you'd only average around 35-40km/h. Now, you can get much faster ones with 3-5k watt motors, and 144v batteries. These will go over 120km/h. Those prices will be 7k CNY+ which is only $976. Finally, they have big bikes/scooters that will have a range of 200-300 km, depending on how you ride, and these will colst 25k CNY+, but they require special chargers, whereas the former ones i mentioned could just be plugged into any outlet. I wonder why this FXS costs so much, when you can literally get like 8 bikes which are just as fast for that price

I also was looking into getting a bike like this for work and city jumping. The price ran me off. I bought a brand new Enduro for $1500 and it gets around 110 miles with 1.3 gallons of fuel. I like knowing that all my bike needs is gas and it starts every time. No need to charge it for 9 hours. Once prices come down on e-bikes $5000 for brand new is ok. Then I will get one. But $8k for a small bike that I can't forget to plug in is very expensive. And repair cost.... Gas powered 250cc are very cheap. How much is a battery or even the controller ?

60miles is nothing to a biker, it's fine for commuting, but bikers like to go for ride-outs or coastal/mountain runs, especially here in Europe with the mountain roads, UK has some great twisty roads (much to the delight of traffic cops looking to catch a speedy biker having too much fun) and you can easily do 100-200miles on a ride, that for me along with the price is what will stop me having an E-bike until range/price is much better, if the range was double then the price would be doable, don't want to have to plan a whole day around a trip having to stop each way to charge for whatever amount of time to get there/home.

The price coupled with the limited range makes good old gas powered transportation look better and better. I love how quiet and clean my ebike is but to step up to a motorcycle is out of the question at these prices! Looks like I’ll be going with a 250cc for probably half the price.

There seem to be a lot of people unhappy with the price point of this bike. It's definitely expensive, but I'm still intrigued (and I've been riding street motorcycles for almost 25 years, and dirt bikes before that). I mostly use my current motorcycle to commute around 9 miles each way, with some errand running on evenings and weekends. The range this bike offers easily accomplishes that. Besides the limited range, there are a lot of positives. Instant torque, no point emissions, no stopping and removing gloves and fishing out wallet at gas stations, and very little maintenance other than replacing consumables (tires, brake pads, brake fluid, etc.). No valves to adjust, no chain or splines (shaft-drive) to lube, no clutch to adjust (at lever or transmission) or clutch cable to replace, no transmission problems (this is direct drive with a carbon fiber belt), no oil (engine or gear) to replace, no spark plugs, no engine gaskets, the list goes on. I don't see the lack of noise as a negative; I have never been a believer in "loud pipes save lives", and always ride like I'm invisible. I would love to see more info about Zero's reliability if any reading this are actual Zero owners -- how do the electronics hold up over time? Expected lifetime of the battery pack, especially if the motorcycle is stored in a non-climate controlled garage? What is the service schedule and have you had an unexpected problems?

"Affordable" is a word that gets thrown around too much.

(custom mufflers/air filters/weight of rider/etc) $15 for a full tank of gas Changing oil, clean + lube chain and air filter takes about 30 minutes Not difficult or expensive

With a spoked set of wheels and way less accessorizing it weighs around 150 without the battery. A lot of competition now in this class from Ducati, Can Am and others. The big Zeros are going after HD's Livewire bikes. When the dust settles in a few years there should be some exceptional machines at good prices. Thanks for the upbeat video 👍 It aged well 😊

When i was in my 20's I rode motorcycles all the time, on Saturdays we'd meet up, go for rides out to coffee shops then tear around having fun all evening, finish up back at the coffee shop. This can't do that, once my charge is done I have to wait 8hrs to recharge. If (and when) they can get the charging time down to ICE levels it will be great, 10 or 20 minute charge times would change everything.

Its criminal how much they charge for a an extremely limited emotorcycle. You could buy a Harley or for that much. $8000-$10000 is not chump change and the re sale value on an e bike or an e motorcycle is not good!! (They don't tell you that when u buy one.) Ur paying thousands to only be limited to 60-100 mi. Then wait 9 hrs to ride again? Here's some advice.....Buy a REAL motorcycle! Those e motorbikes are NOT worth the money. Plus fuel for a motorcycle is cheap and they get so much better gas mileage than a car why would u need an e-motorcycle? Unless u have money to piss away. Now an e bike I can see why u would get one..u dont have to register or get insurance..u can ride 25 to 45 mi per charge use bike lanes,sidewalks,etc. But they are waaaaay more affordable. $1000-$2000 is much better than 8000-$10000. I'd take one if someone gave it to me but if im paying that much..Im buying a REAL motorcycle. Im positive it will be the smarter and more reliable decision down in the long run.

No, supermotos were most certainly not designed to do city commuting or highway riding - they were designed for use in racing on a specific type of course with lots of turns. Supermotos are quite a bit off from being an optimal design for a commuter, as they offer basically zero wind and weather protection but I understand this was done because it looks cool (also, other variants like the S with the same power train are available). And while I find the FXS very fun to drive because of the lively engine with tons of torque, I do not think it is a viable option. The price you mentioned might be the case for the US, but for Europe they are much higher and ny unoffardoable. The FXS has an insane pricetag of some 13,000€ (15,600$ US) which is almost twice the cost.

The 9 hours is for the standard wall outlet which you usually plug your bike in overnight.

I've got one of these, they're nice and quiet but keep an eye on your mileage. It will catch you out!..... literally.

Motorcycle Michael - Like Unintended Consequences mentioned, they have other models available, however none with larger than stock batteries available as an option, and non with batteries that can be swapped out. By swap I mean you could have one at work charging, so you could ride to work, swap, go home, charge and repeat. Also of note is the many, MANY warranty issues, they have no warranty, and no support. THINK before you consider a Zero.

Sick video mate! I and across this video while looking at can/bus conversions and wanting an independent way to get around holiday distinctions... Something light, can charge via my solar panels, 100km+ too speed while still having enough torque and a generous travel range. Great price too.

Unfortunately my commute is 62 km and it's almost all hwy. All zero motorcycles are known to get about half of the estimated range. It's too bad I'd love one of these

Been on a zero fx for 2 years now. So much fun and connection with the road... I dont drive my 1000cc any more, unless i need the stow space or range. (Which isn't often)
