it was a pretty decent hill...
That sucker flies so straight and true at high velo and it corners so tight...
beautiful machine...

drop her from a helicopter and she'll burst into flames from the speed.

it is the perfect island hopper for my commuting...
4 horse Bosch motor goes straight up hills without slowing..
panasonic li-ion top of the line batts
nice tight disk brakes..
weighs in at a little over 150lbs..
I get 160km before I swap out the batts and swap another set in...
plugged into a wall socket ..it takes 4-5 hours to charge up..and costs .25 cents ...
the ferries regard it as a cycle ..so I just pay walk on fees...
no need for insurance , gas , exorbitant ferry fees...
I calculated in my yearly savings I could buy 3 of these a year ...
and now with gas prices soaring here...
It was definitely the smart buy.

I would have bought a "Zero" ...
but living on a small Island ..with not enough space or real good long stretches of road ...and..commuting to yet another Island daily...
It was just a waste of what the Zero could do ...sadly I can't fully utilize the Zero here...

mmm...did I mention mine is an on-road / off-road dirt bike too?

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
