Great series of interviews with Luke. He worked for Zero for several years designing their battery systems; now he appears to be a full-time mad scientist.
The interviews touch on his work with Zero, some of his current contract gigs, and all the various insane projects he's got running around. Deathbike is probably the tamest of all his projects..

I only read the first part so far, but he nailed it.
There is no reason that the electric vehicles shouldnt outperform their ICE equivalents. Thats what drove me nuts about the FX/SR when I first rode them. With a outlook similar to Luke, and all the hype, I was expecting a performance bike. Instead I got an excellent commuter bike, and I find the "OMG its fast" opinions are from people that dont know what fast is.

Luke still works for Zero, just not exclusively. It's probably for the best because a wide variety of clients would probably allow more lessons to cross industries.
