I love the fact that Zero Motorcycles is blazing the way and is already producing electric motorcycles with pretty decent performance that you can buy, today. I’m not going to buy one – well, not yet, anyway – but I hope someone does, and keeps this innovative company going and brings the prices down in the next few years.

For now though, Zero X is having fun. And throwing 24 hour “electricross” endurance races.

Ten mostly silent electric bikes leaving the starting gate sounds a whole lot different from your standard motocross mad scramble where engines are revved and exhaust notes hit a high pitch all together. But I still would have loved to see the event and it sounds like all the riders and teams had a lot of fun. Wired.com has a cool story about the electricross event.
