Look what's been zooming around the streets of Silicon Valley lately: The brushed permanent magnet motor produces 31 horsepower and the bike weighs 225 pounds, making the Zero S a little less powerful – but 96 pounds lighter – than a Suzuki DR-Z400SM. With 62.5 foot-pounds of torque on tap, the Zero S has significantly more grunt than, say, the KTM 690 SMC. They cost under $10K and they'll be available on the market in about a month — but you'll have to stand in line. They've got about 100 orders for them already.
