Title: Zero X Electric in Full Camo Video | The hunters motorcycle?
Post by: skadamo on April 04, 2009, 10:37:42 PM

Cool video of a full camo Zero X showing a guy going hunting.  He takes it down Knee high stream...

I bet the military will be very interested in this bike.  Will it replace the trusty diesel KLR's?  Not sure what kind of range the like to get but who knows.

Nice!  A lot stealthier way to do it.

Hey James, welcome to the forum!  You may be the first twitter user to join :D  Not sure though.

I really think the electrics will open up some new frontiers.  It will be cool to see how people use them.  Hunting works.  An electric ATV I'm sure would be a hit with hunters.

Turns out Neal like to fish and hunt.  That sheds some light on the camo bike...

Saiki, who is a big-game hunter and fisherman, wanted a bike that was quieter (so it wouldn’t spook game) and produced less pollution. He also understood it required rugged construction so the hunter who ventured deep into backcountry could also ride back out.
