It looks like they've made the footpeg double up as a little crank handle for charging.

Looks better with someone on it. Not bad.

I think Zero threw a lot of money down the pan telling Huge Design to "go wild". Letting a bunch of poncey designers come up with something that is going to appeal to sports bike riders - fail. It looks like a 1970s car ashtray on wheels. And that headlight looks useless.

Gissa go mister! It looks, as mentioned, much better with a rider on board.

I really like it. One of the plusses of leccy bikes is obvs. that there is no need for all that gubbins required to feed / breathe / toilet that hungry ICE - with the result that they can look really, really plain. So it's nice to see designers introduce a bit of pizazz.

If they're so proud of it then why did they photograph it in the dark?
Looks more like something you would find in the 'White goods aisle' of a consumer goods outlet,not something that you would see in a motorbike shop :wtf:

It's all a bit 'Tron' - to be expected I guess.

Funny thing is, the rear light looks more like a headlight than the headlight does. :D

I like the whole thing though, would happily test ride it. :thumbup:

I think futuristic design needs a drastic redesign. We've had the same idea of what the future looks like for the last 50 years. Since the invention of lycra we could all walk around in Star Trek onesies if we wanted to, but we don't. We could all put blue led lights on boarders and trims so we look like Tron, but we don't. Someone needs to come up with a new look for futuristic.

Looks like that Harley adv abortion on the headlight front.

I'd take a run on it,but that's not one for staring lovingly at in the garage,more of a 'can't be bothered to wash it' commuter hack.

I've never thought electric vehicles were radical, they've been around a long time, I first drove an electric vehicle in about 1974, and an electric car in 1985.
