I just got an email from CSC announcing their new electric RX1E ADV bike. Specs are as follows:

Liquid-Cooled Electric Motor
96-Volt, 64Ah Lithium-Ion Battery
Bosch Dual ABS Brake System
Three Riding Modes:
Eco
Comfort
Sport
110-Volt Power Supply
37mm Inverted Telescopicfork with 4.7 inches of travel and adjustable rebound damping.
Monoshock Rear Suspension with 4.3 inches of travel, adjustable spring preload and rebound damping.
LCD Instrument Panel
USB Port For Charging Mobile Devices
ABS Saddlebags & 72-Liter Top Box
Large Front Storage Tank
Center Stand
17" Cast aluminum Wheels
Tubeless Front & Rear Tires

Weights & Measurements

Length: 82.2 inches (2090mm)
Width: 34.0 inches (865mm)
Height: 47.4 inches (1205mm)
Seat height: 30.9 inches (780mm)
Ground clearance: 6.0 inches (150mm)
Rake & Trail: 27°, 74mm
Wheelbase: 55.5 inches (1400mm)
Curb weight: 436.5 pounds (198kg); 469 lb with luggage and crash bars
Max load: 331 lb (150kg)

Regular MSRP is going to be $8495, but there is a $500 discount for preorders, which will knock it down to $7995 for the first ones who order. Comparing it to a Zero FX Dual Sport @ 12,995, it's $4500 less and includes a ton of extras, though it is down on power at 8 kW sustained and 18 kW peak power versus the Zero's 46 kw peak power. Motor torque is 61 ft/lb versus 78 ft/lb on the Zero. Also, the RX1E's motor is liquid cooled, while the Zero's is air cooled.

I'm not planning on buying one myself, but it is a pleasant surprise to see CSC and Zongshen throwing their hats into the electric motorcycle ring.
