Zero Motorcycles

Rode the Zero S, and Zero SR. Stuck around for a while and rode the FX as well. All do very well streets and very short range.

If you like light bikes, these are awesome. All of the weight is way down low, so they ride lighter than they are, and they are already light. However, If you ride easy, these are awesome. If you ride them hard, the battery goes to shit. I ran out of battery on a pre-charged 8 mile test ride......


If you ride more than 40 miles commute range, and have nowhere to charge up, these are useless for a normal rider. It says 105 mile range, but thats crap. Going there and back, expect 80 tops....

I have ridden the 2014 S, RS, and FX.



Also, took some serious adjusting. I was grabbing clutch and pawing with the left foot to downshift at every light, trying to downshift to slow down. When you cut throttle, it straight drops like a low tooth gxsr. It is also touchy to figure out where exactly to keep the throttle, because the TQ curve is backwards of a regular bike.




Good to get feedback like this. It's very important to me, to get real world reports.
