The X-Rider electric motorcycle from Xtreme Green Products in Nevada received certification for highway use from the EPA. They were told by the EPA that they are the first electric motorcycle (”Highway Motorcycle - Battery Electric”) to receive this certification in the U.S.
David Isserman, from Xtreme Green, says “We spent the last 6 months working with the EPA helping them to develop the procedures to get a 100% electric motorcycle certified. This certification now makes the X Rider eligible to receive the federal stimulus tax credit, which requires this Certificate of Conformity.”
This certification also allows the X-Rider to be operated on all U.S. highways.
