Zero X Electric Motorcycle Tuning Done via USB

Electric vehicles are really popular right now and not just the four wheel variety. The Zero X is an electric motorcycle that has the looks of a motocross bike. The makers claim that the bike has the world’s best acceleration, agility and durability of any motorcycle.

These claims aren’t backed up though with the 0-50 mph time simply listed as "in a flash". In a world where motorcycles hit 60 mph in about 2 seconds, I have doubts that they can live up to that claim. The bike is powered by lithium-ion batteries and if you don’t like as much acceleration as the thing can deliver you can tune the electric motor by connecting it via USB to a computer. The electric motor is said to deliver 20 hp and the vehicle has a curb weight of 120 pounds.
