Get into gear with Machine X.
The next step in the evolution of the electric bicycle.

With proper use of gearing, speeds of 25 - 30 mph are unbelievably easy to achieve and Machine X cruises up sustained steep inclines with minimal rider effort. Machine X is an ingenious combination of a Heinzman 500W motor, a 14-gear semi-auto or 8–speed full auto drive system and "add-on ready" tubular NiMH D-cell battery packs mounted low on the frame. For a bike that weighs in at just 55 lbs, Machine X is worth its weight in gold.

With batteries mounted at the bottom of the frame, Machine X has a super low center of gravity (CG) that makes low speed maneuvering instinctive while ZVO’s dual-drive hybrid drive system keeps pedaling effort to an absolute minimum. Machine X provides unparalleled stability, balance and acceleration throughout its full gear range. Its exceptionally low stall speed makes for clear passes of fixed or moving obstacles.

Machine X comes with an exceptional set of the highest quality components on the market today. Instead of cutting corners with cheaper parts, ZVO chose to get the most out of their unique geared drive system by selecting the best components available to create an unbeatable smooth shifting, all-terrain electric transporter.

Electric Cyclery test ride report: Cool things about riding Machine X.


Machine X is the only electric bicycle built tough enough for extreme riding. We tried to kill it but it wouldn't die.

OK, it died a couple times but we were always able to fix it with a basic bike tool kit. Rims, motor casing, everything about it is bomb proof and built to take a thrashing. The construction detail on Machine X is top of the line, this bike is clearly built to take everything you can throw at it. Years of research have gone into the development of Machine X and it is clear ZVO is producing a sturdy, long lasting product that is designed to be your one bike - the only bike with the handling and performance needed to ride on road or off road comfortably.
