Zero has just announced a new model. The ADV-styled DSR/X. Kind of heavy to take off road and the fully-optioned cost is likely to be around $30K if it is marketed in the U.S. The bike certainly has a lot of quality components and should be a good addition to their EV range of motorcycles, but maybe it is time to work on cutting prices a bit. Between Zero, LiveWire and Energica electric motorcycle brands, you really have to have a lot of loose change to invest in one of these new highway-capable electric motorcycles. Nice if you have the money. But is someone who is not familiar with EV technology going to buy one, especially with the state of the current economy, or will they spend a bit more to buy a new EV car from an established brand with an extensive dealership network? Time will tell. Here is a link to the review: https://thepack.news/zero-motorcycles-releases-new-electric-adventure-motorcycle-dsr-x-in-sicily/

At the prices they now are ... I'll be buying an EV car with the money.

Thanks for that clip, SHAG. I watched the entire thing and thought it was a very balanced and informative first ride review. Much better than the usual group ride review of new motorcycle models.

I'll second that! The car may even have a higher tax credit potentially making it cheaper.

That would be the case in both the U.S. and the state of California. I think between the two EV rebate plans you could get as much as $15K if you bought the right EV and met the income requirements.  And to add insult to injury, the federal plan excludes motorcycle purchases and my recollection is that the best you can do in CA is $750 for buying an electric motorcycle.
