2009 Zero X Vs. Glen Helen Raceway

The 2009 Zero X could mark a watershed moment for electric motorcycles. Making 50lb/ft of torque and weighing just 151lbs, it’s the first to offer performance rivaling, if not exceeding, its gas-powered competitors. At $7,750, it’s also the first that will be sold in large numbers and for a price only slightly higher than that demanded by equivalent internal combustion dirt bikes. But can it really tackle a challenging motocross track and dirt trails with equal aplomb? We take it to the huge ascents and daunting, rutted descent of Glen Helen Raceway to find out.
