While the global economy has been in free fall, electric car manufacturer Tesla has seen its stock price go through the roof. Their cars are now a global phenomenon and they’re lightning fast too. So why haven’t electric motorcycles been the same? The styling on most is awful and without the performance to surpass their petrol competitors, few buyers are willing to jump ship. But Australian Toby Roberts of Ed Motorcycles has thrown his hat in the ring and come out swinging. Forget new age styling and plastic fairings, he’s matched the cool lines of a flat tracker with legitimate superbike performance. Known as Concept Z, this is the way a motorcycle should be, brilliantly engineered, mouth-wateringly fast, and packing a big hit of high voltage rock n roll.
