In electric motorcycles and cars, what safety equipment is in place (if any) to prevent arcing, short-circuiting or electrocution in the event of a crash that destroys the batteries? Obviously nothing will prevent this if the batteries are thrown from the vehicle, but in a conventional accident what keeps the vehicle safe to handle?

Zero just made this post about their 10 year anniversary,

They also announced that their free fuel for live offer is extended through the end of June.  At what point does it become clear that it will also be good through July... and August and November?

This would have to be the worst review article I've ever read.  This guy doesn't know the basics of the product, is unable to think ahead, doesn't know what aerodynamics are and provides no context for what he's looking for in a bike.  They should have called this one a mulligan for operator error and either scraped or extended the review period.

What's the worst review you've ever read?

Why is it that there are some (admittedly very small) manufacturers like Lightning and Lito that are exiled to the "other" file, and yet there are tabs on the main page that haven't been opened since 2011. Even Mission still has its own tab. Perhaps it's time for a little reorganizing, either ranking pages by frequency of comments or products sold by the manufacturer.

Buell used to be the face of the American sportbike untill Harley Davidson shut them down in 2009 for whatever reason. Since then, Erik Buell has had a tough time getting his company opporational again. Are the Zero SR and the Empulse really the only American made bikes that can be described as sportbikes, or at least performance motorcycles?

Does anyone consider bikes like the Indian Scout or Harley V-Rod as sportbikes, or just sporty cruisers?

(And while we're at it, are there any other American dirtbikes and supermotos, or are the FX and FXS alone in this catagory too?)

Time to change the thread to 2013-2016?

I'm a new owner of a 2015 FX. I'm looking for some handlebar guards, but I'm not a huge fan of the ones Zero offers.  I'm looking for something that better matches the FX's angular styling.  Any suggestions for a universal or other manufacturer product that fits on the FX?
Thanks
