Specter:
Because that noisy ass diesel generator you will also need to lug along to charge the thing is totally silent too right?

And those portable solar panels are really slow at recharging. Maybe those big trucks could carry a big battery pack to recharge the Zeros.

Specter:
Well, instead of each grunt carrying an 80 Lb back pack, make them carry 100 lb, with a charged lipo battery in it.  It's only a few more pounds, and besides, they bitch about the taste of those MRE's anyways, so removing them and replacing with a battery should make the soldiers happy right? :D

They didn't say much about the real reason the Zero's make sense for recon and certain other missions: The bottom line is they are a lot quieter than gas bikes. You can only increase the size of mufflers to a certain point on gas bikes before they start robbing power. Yes there are range limitations but they are easier to manage than the noise of a gas bike.
