    That video is pretty eye opening! lol. Their Australian site is saying 3.4 seconds to 100kph for the fastest model with dual motor and biggest battery ($140,000) and.... 6.2 seconds to 100 for the slowest model single motor smaller battery ($95,000) plus on road costs. Battery service life of 8 years... hmn wonder what that costs to replace, However, they are offering an inovative deal for a guaranteed 43% -50% of sale price trade in/buy back at 3 years (providing you dont bend it and buy it via approved credit) I wonder if battery/ motor life may play a role in this in this.
    0-100 in 3.4 secs in a passenger car and you get boot spaces front and rear. Insane mode is well named!

    haha It will be just like the remote controlled car market for the kids. you will be able to pimp every part and end up with nothing original.

    I am in favour of them especially for the commuter/shopping trolley market. I don't buy the argument that because they use electricity that we burn fossil fuels like brown coal to produce that they are not better for the environment. We just need to find better ways of generating and storing electricity.

    The more that we move in this direction the more funding will go into finding solutions for those problems.

    I like the Zero bikes.... now if they were zero to register why not get one for short commutes.
