Makes and Models Expanded to Include Electric Motorcycles

My Makes and Models subject has now been expanded to include three electric motorcycle makes: Brammo, Vectrex, and Zero. There are other makes also attracting attention but most of them don't have production models yet. Take a look at my Makes and Models.

As you see in my last blog post, I have also added these three electric motorcycle makes to my Motorcycle Seat Heights feature.

As I create addition information regarding electric motorcycles, I will post here in my blog and in my Motorcycle Views Newsletter.

Motorcycle Seat Heights - Added Honda, Brammo, Vectrix, and Zero

I have a list of motorcycle seat heights that I developed for 2006 makes and models. I'm currently adding the 2013 models to that list.

The updated list of motorcycle seat heights now contains seat heights for 2013 Harley-Davidson, 2013 Victory models, and 2013 Honda models. In addition, I have added seat heights for some popular electric motorcycles: Brammo, Vectrix, and Zero. The data are arranged in a table from lowest to highest seat height. All motorcycle seat heights are given in inches.

Seat heights for other 2013 makes and models are currently being developed as I get to them.
