I had a short test drive today (40 minutes), at first even street mode got me by surprise with it's brutal acceleration, but Zero really managed the first 10 to 20 feet really good in terms of throttle mapping, traction control. I'm not that experienced, but that helped me put down a nice slipping start with a little black line in sport mode :-) I honed around the city of Vienna, Austria like crazy, between 50 and 75 mph!! never ending grin factor, good suspension, wide grippy tires, adequate brakes... damn i hope batteries get a lot cheaper soon

All is well except there is an additional zero in the zero's price tag

The price of their bikes are completely absurd. In fact the price of everything including cars and regular motorcycles are completely absurd right now as well.

I've had my SR/F for a full month now and have ridden over 1,300 miles, probably 50/50 city/mountains. I thought the review was fair, although saying you couldn't do 400-500 miles over a weekend is only true where sufficient charging infrastructure does not exist. Admittedly, that's in a lot of places. Here in LA, we have decent infrastructure, but we need a lot more. I rode to Newcomb's Ranch, a nice biker place on Angeles Crest Hwy. north of LA, this weekend. I could make it round trip from Santa Monica, but I would have to go easy. I'm going to see if I can engineer a couple of L2 charge stations for them. SoCal Edison will pay most of the cost, I believe. They already allow Zeros to use a couple of L1 plugs, but with the SR/Fs selling like crazy out of Harlan Flagg's Hollywood Electrics, we're going to need support. Guaranteed I'll buy lunch while I wait.

Good review. The bike is thrilling to ride. I've ridden other Zero models throughout the year but this was the first one I took on a test ride that felt like a "real motorcycle," whatever that is. I ordered immediately, mid March, and have been told to expect the bike by the end of July. Zero seems to be overwhelmed with orders from all over the world. That's a good thing. Bikes like this will win over more riders and it's great to see another American manufacturer succeed.

You can make long trips if you can find high speed AC chargers. You can also get Tesla adapters for their fast AC charges. Plus, you need to install the 9000kWh charging system. 400 is more realistic per day. If you go to NewZeroLand, this guy on his Energica Evo 13.4kWH batter pack demonstrated that he can go 400 miles, but in 11.5 to 12 hrs. Yes that is a long day, but the key is fast charging. The Energica's DC charger can charge up to 90% in 20-30 minutes (13.4 kW hr bat). Note: My specs may be off but in reality 400 mile trips are do-able.

Whenever comparing the purchase price of an EV vs. internal combustion vehicle, just looking at the MSRP is misleading. For me at least, if I'm buying a brand-new vehicle from the dealer, I'm taking a 3- or 5-year loan. If that's you too, then it makes more sense to figure the monthly payment on each vehicle, plus the monthly cost to fuel each vehicle, plus the average monthly cost of maintenance of each vehicle. Given that EVs cost *way* less to fuel and maintain than internal combustion vehicles, the EV will almost certainly look much better taking those items into account.

Yes it looks nice but the one thing that bothers me or should that be the one thing other than the range that bothers me is the charge socket, I wonder how well it would be during a really heavy down pour of rain, so you pull up to the charger while it really pouring down with rain you open the flap and what it's soaking wet and every hole full of water because it's pointing up. So you plug it in anyway cos you think they must have thought about that right, but you end up shorting something out on the bike cos it's a safety feature that you can't charge while the plug is wet, so now you are stuck in the rain unable to charge and the bike is dead due to it's safety feature stopping you getting electrocuted by the rain filled socket. So I wonder just how safe it would be to connect your bike to the charger in the middle of a down pour of rain, no shelter for the charging, so you are stuck standing in the rain waiting for it to charge or you go to the local café so long as it's day time, but at night you are stuck hanging around with your thousands of dollars bike waiting for it to charge, in the rain or snow or what ever the point is, is that socket safe in the rain considering it's pointing up and will fill up with water?

Looks great and all, and I love that it is an EV since I own a Tesla, but for long rides with friends it would take too long to charge and with limited places especially at the cost in places etc. it would not be my choice sadly. I would still have to get a gas powered motorcycle.

Cool bike.

I own an electric concrete mixer. I bought it in around 1992. It has done a massive amount of work. So much so the bowl has worn out, changed worm bolt and worm wheel. That's because someone put grease on it. ( supposed to run dry) The labels on the motor is worn out so you cannot see what type of motor, how much power it is etc. You cannot beat electric. As for the price and cost of batteries. You will not witness a huge reduction of price. I would like to be incorrect and have people say in my face you are wrong I will laugh with them. The reason batteries are expensive is very obvious. It's a secret. Secret weapon and the only way some people have control. An ice vehicle ( internal computing engine) Have around 7 thousand parts for a motor vehicle. Not sure on a motorcycle. It's a lot and each requiring precision machinery and purpose made robotic machinery to manufacture each part each seal, Each fuel pump, cooling system electronics and sensors etc. So how after all that an electric motorcycle is more expensive? One thing on a vehicle which is oil dependant you are at the mercy of the ever Changing price of fuel which varies day to day. People think oh we ride 1,000 miles each week and have fuel readily available. People become content with this dependency and it is not until fuel stations run dry They may stand up and take notice. If you had solar panels and battery backup, you are heading in a direction of off the grid. You can be certain the power structures dont Want that. This is the reason for inflated Prices and pay per mile you travel. Technology in batteries are improving at such a rapid rate along with cordless tools.

My complaint now about the design is that lcd screen. I think it would have been better to use a reflective display that works well under sunlight. There is no need to have an expensive lcd screen,..., unless you want to watch movies on that. That’s my preference. Other Zero motorcycles have that and I haven’t heard anyone complain about it.

William Mackay - bikes (and by extension bikers) rely _heavily_ on engine braking to slow down as it puts the force on the rear tire and is _very_ predictable. Having modes is grand (and I would _much_ prefer if my Model S had flappy paddle regen like all t’other evs as car handling benefits) but bikes need more flexibility.

kevin masey - just what I was thinking... clutch lever off any (nice) bike attached to a rotary encoder plugged into the confuser. Bit of software, but you already have presets (min/max) so it’s just a step sweep twixt those as the encoder indicates...

orion khan I suppose there’s a difference. To me, in cars, the reason for putting them has more to do with paddle-shifter familiarity than actual need. The way Tesla does it seems to be fine to me, though a couple more settings would be nice. I don’t think they need to be at my fingertips all the time. I guess the market pressure over time will decide whether or not easy access to those controls in cars is actually what people want.

Of course range is an issue. Yet, it looks like it behavez as a well performing vehicle to be fair. Design I like too.

Over the air updates. Why?! Electric motor, speed control, battery. Done. Keep it simple like the previous Zeros and don't mess with my bike remotely.

Never heard o zero in Houston Texas!

I’m still loved old V4 engine until the end

I have an Outrider Alpha electric bicycle trike that has a better battery capacity and goes fairly fast too. That being said , it's the same price. Nonetheless this bike should have a little bit better range or a swappable modular battery

I want more power 200 hp and 200 torque something like the lighting

Gee...You don't want much do ya hey! Give them 5 more years. Weight will come down. Power will increase. Price should come down to. I wonder if 200hp is needed though....The torque figures are pretty impressive. I ride a Triumph speed Triple 1050cc....133hp...84lbs of Torque....This bike in the video is way more than mine. I think it'll satisfy 98% out there.

Would be nice to hear what it sounds like. Turn down the music!!

Let me know when there is a 200 mile range bike for 12k.

Is the Zero SF/F the size of a Grom or is he just really tall?

Robert Weekley, Zero already has decent, yet lower priced offerings.

"more and more vehicles are getting these types of updates".... Except as of now only Tesla has that capability and this motorcycle as well. There is no other vehicle sold today that can get over the air software updates (I believe BMW can do some Infotainment updates but not vehicle updates)

$19K for 166 mile, checkout Emflux One and Revolt RV 400

Revolt is a 150cc equivalent that's top speed is 52mph and 96 mile range. That's like comparing a Grom to a MT09. Emflux One is still a prototype and they haven't even shown a manufacturing model, with no pricing or final specs.
