ABSTRACT

Presented by Neal Saiki

Former NASA engineer Neal Saiki discusses the design of the Zero X and and Zero S electric motorcycles, as well as the challenges inherent in getting the Zero Motorcycles business off the ground.

The Zero X dirt bike shipped in 2008 and was designed from the ground up to operate solely on electric power. The Zero X chassis is made out of aircraft aluminum and one of the lightest motorcycle frames on the planet at 18 pounds. The bike has a total weight of 140 pounds.

The Zero S street bike was introduced in April 2009. It was also designed from scratch as a high performance electric-only vehicle.

You know what would be a great idea for you guys always posting such long, but very interesting videos?
