The Enertia
The Zero is being marketed as an eerily-silent motocross replacement. The Enertia is a commuter-bike. Both are plagued with a short 40 mile range and a slow 50 mph top speed. The Zero people are promising an optional 80 mile range in the future, but not yet.
These bikes are a humble beginning for electric motorcycling. I expect this to change quickly as better batteries allow greater speed and range.
UPDATE:
It's remarkable how often Phil and I, without planning, get on the same wavelength. He's got more on electric motorcycles over at L2SI.
UPDATE II:
I certainly don't live as green as the elites that this post is aimed at. I live in a rural setting with four kids and a wife. Personally, I'm looking forward to a green solution that has mass appeal - plug-in diesel hybrids.
