Now it looks like they're AU$13,590 on the road in Australia... and you can book a test ride. http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&myCountry=13&cPath=1&products_id=8 I have put in for a test ride.

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... Zebee

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. Theo
