Techcrunch is covering this. I haven't watched the video yet, but otherwise this seems light.

Watch the video for the jump close to the end.  I don't know what their secret sauce is but seems much quicker and tougher than an FX even though on paper the specs are near the same if not better for the FX.  I would have killed to have something like this when I was a kid.  No engine noise letting certain land owners know you were there milking fun out of their fields and woods.
Of course I thought Mission and Lightning were awesome so we'll see how they do.

They're claiming 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. The Zero FXS won't do that.
