VIDEO: ZERO X puts on camo, goes hunting
Having a motocross bike that can carry you through the woods with a certain amount of stealth might be rather advantageous for riders who would prefer not scare off all the wildlife in the vicinity. While the Zero X from Zero Motorcycles can do this quite well, the only color available thus far has been the rather conspicuous white, but it seems they might have something coming that's a little more apropos for the hunters (or photographers) out there. Behold, the Zero X in camo! (pictured above. No really, try squinting)
While we can't yet say for sure whether popular pattern will be offered to the public, we're betting they're considering it since they have a page on their website dedicated to it and went through the trouble of making a little movie. The footage not only features the X showing off its new colors, it also illustrates its ability to climb over trees, rocks and get itself up a creek without a paddle. Hit the jump for a little bit of bow hunting, electric X stealth style.

the video was just made up as a reason to buy a no noise MC. Unfortunately it was a lame idea b/c rednecks who hunt will stick to the 4 wheelers and pickup trucks. They don't need to come up with cheesy reasons like this, just make a good MC and they will come.

Well, those of us that do hunt (by far the most nutritious and humane way of consuming meat, b.t.w.) are more likely to spend our money on something with a little utility. The Bad Boy Buggie is also electric (virtually silent) and camouflaged, but it has 4 wheel drive and several places to carry things. Plus, it has regenerative braking and you can get it with a winch!

I think they are "gunning" for covert military applications.
Personally, I Like the Camo. It looks fantastic on the Zero and there are many applications where low noise unobtrusive back country transportation would be beneficial. You would have to have a generator at base camp for recharging, but just think about all the happy critters and/or neighbors.
Go ZERO!
