The carbon footprint to run that bike would be far more than the 2 stroke. If you consider life time.
Battery replacement etc

For sure but when did the clowns that promote all this alleged green crap ever let the truth get in the way of what they are pushing this week ::)

Why????
Because the second one looked like a Prius
Therefore you need to look green not be green
The 1st car just looked like a standard civic whats the point of that :)

Impressive. Looks like plenty of fun AND you could run it in the middle of suburbia and who the heck is going to complain about smoke and noise? Nobody. Very nice.

It will be a nuisance complaint. As you know, bikes of any sort are the tool of the devil...

no scrubbing..no whips..riding style looks almost old school ;)

boring, boring

I dont think its boring , it could probably be a lot of fun and as Luke says you could get away with holding events in urban areas :)
Its no substitute for the real thing but cool in its own right .
What shits me is the greenie spin doctoring and the way the masses accept that its electric so it must be more eco friendly ::)

Silent Running - Zero Electric Flat Tracker
Preston Petty,yep, the inventor of the plastic mudguards from the 1970's,
races in the Super Senior Class in the SCFTA usually on a KTM but
showed up this last time with a Zero Electric Flat Tracker. Both Pres and #43 A.J.Hateley
rode the bike and made it look good. With two batteries and 250lbs the Zero seems to hold its own with 450s ! They are experimenting with one battery but seem to get more power for longer with two.
The problem with these bikes is they sound like....nothing. Thats great if you want to hold races at your local Baseball Diamond which would be fun. Great to see Preston thinking outside the box as usual and lets see
just how competitive they can make it.

How's the rear sprocket! Now this could open up all those showground speedway tracks that don't get used anymore.

If it doesn't smell of Castrol R ,i'm not interested!

Sounds , noise and smell = atmosphere = crowds ;)
However that is for our generation :) maybe todays plastic and fake generation would get all fired up watching this sort of racing while listening to the latest noise from the latest bunch of baggy arsed bunch of muppets masqurading as a band on their bloody phone pad thingys ::)

Clothes peg and a strip of icecream bucket on the forks will fix the sound bit. ;D

Just play some old race recordings over the PA.
