Electric freestyling is in these videos with the Zero MX doing some moves at the Sydney Motorcycle Expo. Boring? Just a motorised mountain bike? You decide, but in news from Hell for Leather, Zero is joining the TTXGP in the eGrandPrix racing series.

The guys from Zero should be using a Mavizen TTX02 chassis like that of the KTM RC8, fitting it with their own batteries and electric motors. Other modifications should include some changed fairing in a streamlined style. More companies are expected to announce they’re joining the TTXGP series, with the first race starting in California in May next year.

After months of expectation, Zero Motorcycles has revealed its new Zero S model for some electric motorcycle fun. The supermotard has no CO2 emissions and is the sister model to the offroad Zero X, from which it borrows the motor and running system.

The Zero S has characteristic front and rear lights, indicators and mirrors, which all make this a suitable road motorcycle. New disc brakes and sports tyres have been included, and figures from the 31 hp, 84 Nm engine are a top speed of 96 km/hr and a range of 97 km.

The 4 Kw lithium ion battery can be recharged anywhere in four hours, thanks to the integrated recharger. The alluminium chassis, which is not only impressive to look at, puts the Zero S squarely in the feather weight class at only 102 kg. Sales will start from May this year in the US at a price of 9,950 USD.
