Last time I checked (a few months ago) Zero were not shipping outside
the US. Now it looks like they're AU$13,590 on the road in
Australia... and you can book a test ride.

13 grand for a 100kmh bike with 80km range and 4 hour charge.

It's probably the best that can be done with current tech, and it does
sound very appealing for a commuter except... luggage!

Would it kill them to maybe add some small panniers? Something to put
your lunch and a jumper in? Never mind the milk...

There was a stand at last year's Perth Motorcycle show with electric
bikes and scooters. They were called Sustainable Transport Company, I
had a quick look but they were quite expensive and not enough range
for me to get to town and back. Other than that I remember little
about them. Found this on the net http://www.nope.com.au/where-to-buy/
0429 880 004 Email theo(a)freeriderstc.com.au, and no, it's not me.
Ah, here it is http://www.nope.com.au/products/electric-scooters/nope-j50-neo/
.. Looks like a city scooter, 50km/h 50km range AU$3250 ride away
price.
