5 ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE MYTHS

Myth #1 – Electric Motorcycles are slow – WRONG

If you still believe Electric Vehicles are slow, you’ve been living under a rock. The Zero SR has been boasting a 0-60mph time of 3.3 seconds since it was introduced in 2014.

Myth #2 – Electric Motorcycles are expensive – WRONG

Consider the cost of ownership to realize how shortsighted it is to take the price of a motorcycle at face value. We’ve taken the cost of fuel and expensive maintenance for granted our entire lives.

Myth #3 – Electric Motorcycle don’t go far enough on a charge – WRONG

The fact that we’re still hearing this falsehood on a daily basis, when the range of new Zero Motorcycles actually exceeds that of many popular ICE vehicles, just goes to show how stubborn and opposed to change we actually are.


Myth #4 – Electric Motorcycles are more polluting than a gas vehicle – WRONG

Keep telling yourself that your smelly, smoky ICE vehicle is cleaner than the plants that power my Electric Motorcycle. I hope it helps you sleep at night. If not, you can just walk down to your garage, crawl into the backseat of your car and warm up that internal combustion engine.

Myth #5 – Electric Motorcycles are dangerous because “Loud Pipes Save Lives” – WRONG

This is by far the most ignorant statement I hear on a daily basis. If anybody actually believes someone in a car is going to notice the sound of their bike when the windows are up, the radio is on, or the driver is talking and texting on their cell phone, then that rider is asking for trouble.
