Zero Motorcycles' new all-electric XE and XB dirt bikes are perhaps the company's most interesting products ever. And that's coming from someone who loved his time with the FX and the DSR/X, though given those two motorcycles' purposes, I'm sure you can guess why I dig the dirt bikes.
But more so than my love for dirt, the XE and XB are aimed at the hottest market in the motorcycling community right now: youth and off-road. Kids and their parents are snatching EV dirt bikes up faster than any gasoline-powered dirt bike ever, and more kids are actually out riding. It's why Sur-Ron, Talari, and Niu exist, it's why Stark got to be profitable in short order, and it's even why LiveWire, after years of mismanagement, recently purchased the startup Dust Moto, as to gain that company's upcoming EV dirt bike.
