hmmm, the specs all seem to stack up well for this bike, and they claim it is similar in performance to a 250. But im yet to see anything that even remotely resembles this, the biggest jump i cud find on youtube was about 10m, and nowhere are there any full on burm-roosting corner shots. My conclusion is they either have an extremely poor marketing division, or it is a false claim. Dont get me wrong i would really love to see electric bikes taking on the traditional dirtbikes, but making false claims will do more harm than good.

I think they mean the engine performance to weight ratio when they claim performance of a 250. But yeah Bogan, I am gonna have to agree with you. I want to see some one run it through an MX whoop section.
Marketing the Zero X as an MX bike might be a risky sell. I hope they don't go that route.
I really like the niche the X carves for itself. Somewhere between Mountain bike and dirt bike.
If you look at thier parts section... http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/store.php ...you can get a complete wheel set for < $400. Less than rear wheel of an MX bike. Awsome.
