Congrats to Zero on Pikes Peak. Wish I had been there!

The Zeros did good but the Lightning won the motorcycle class, defeating even the gas powered motorcycles!   It is also interesting that it was powered by Solar power for the event.

Yeah. The motorcycle mechanic next to my shop works on the Ducati bikes that go to Pikes Peak. He was the first to tell me about the Lightning beating them. I just wanted to post the Zero link because I thought they showed well.

Well, in all fairness, the lightning costs 3X so that money tends to make it go faster.

Good one!

3x? I would value the lightning bikes at over 6 figures. They will sell you a "production" version for less, but those development bikes are almost beyond valuation.

I wonder if they will have an electric trike class next year?
