Electric Motorcycle Impresses Motocross Crowd
Filed Under (Blog Posts) by John Davis

A 24 hour motocross race on electric motorcycles demonstrates the viability of electric motorcycle technology.

Dirt rider Brandon Savory had just cleared the last jump on the last turn of the last lap of the “24 Hours of Electricross” endurance race when it all went bad in grand fashion.

Savory was among 50 riders onhand to show the Zero X electric motorcycle is a real motorcross machines, and he showboated the last few laps. He got big air off the jumps and threw dirt rooster tails over teammates gathered at the last turn of the half-mile track. With excitement mounting as the end of the unprecedented 24-hour race drew near, Savory launched the bike high in the air and nailed the landing before going head over heels.
