Zero off-road electric motorcycles get recalled, might crash more than usual

The Zero S our own Tim Stevens rode fearlessly through the streets of New York apparently isn’t effected, but it looks like Zero’s off-road electric motorcycles (the Zero X and Zero MX ) have been hit with a recall after it was discovered that they might crash when it’s not entirely the driver’s fault. Turns out the throttle can get stuck in the open position or become disconnected, and that the “Easy” or “0-25″ modes can “unexpectedly” lead to full power when the bike is turned on — both what you might call “bad things.” Of course, this is a fairly small recall (some 200 vehicles), but if that includes you, you’ll want to get in touch with Zero to arrange for a free repair. Hit up the link below for all the necessary details.

    We've seen Texas Instrument's OMAP 5 in action, but we've not been capable of pit it directly against a competitor. The Dallas company should be growing increasingly confident in its product however, as its posted a video demoing its pair of A15 cores alongside an unspecified quad-core A9 part -- presumably the Tegra 3. The video shows the subsequent-gen TI part powering in the… »
