I recently purchased a Supermoto, and I have to say that I’m having lots of fun. All that fun would probably be multiplied by ten if it was an all-electric bike. Check out the Zero FX Stealthfighter motorcycle, which can basically go anywhere, all without sipping a drop of fossil fuel.
The Zero FX Stealthfighter promises no fuss, and not much maintenance. The best part is that it’s all electric, so you won’t have to fill it up. It does well on the dirt track, the streets, or off road. It has 44 hp, 70 lb-ft. of torque, and weighs 280 lbs. The range for this bike varies between 35 miles and 70 miles, depending on which model you choose.
There are two versions of the bike available, one costs $9,495(USD) and has a 2.8 kWh battery. The other costs $11,990 and has a 5.7 kWh battery. Just like most electric vehicles, this is a clutch-less, direct-drive system, so no more shifting around to maximize power.

Win Races Greenly with Voxman Wattman, The Most Powerful Electric Motorcycle
Posted in: Today's ChiliHave you ever wanted to ride a motorcycle that’s basically made up of a big electric battery, a hefty motor and two wheels popped on the bottom? Well, the Voxman Wattman won’t win any beauty competitions, but you’ll laugh all the way to the finish line, as you blow your competition away, all with zero emissions.
The Voxman Wattman is claimed to be the world’s most powerful all-electric motorcycle, and it’s completely wrapped in an aluminum chassis that houses its drivetrain. It has 200hp, which will propel it to 100 mph in under six seconds. Plus, you can recharge this beast in less than 30 minutes.
The motorcycle will be hand-built in France, and I’m guessing that the price, which hasn’t been disclosed yet, will be pretty hefty.
I can only imagine fighting off stormtroopers and Matrix-style assassins on this EV.
