Reading police add futuristic motorcycles to fleet

READING, Pa. (WPVI) -- Police in Berks County are adding a super-stealth new tool to their crime fighting arsenal.

It's called the Zero Electronic Motorcycle.

Reading police say the futuristic machine is ideal because it barely makes a sound, quickly navigates tight turns, and can even scale a flight of stairs.

They plan to buy two of the bikes, at about $20,000 a piece.

Reading will become the first department in the state to add the motorcycles.
