Well I've had my Zero DS for a bit over a month now. The DS. It's been fantastic. Just as he said in the video. I haven't had to kick any children away from a hot exhaust. I haven't woken the neighbours when I go to work at dawn. It is recharged by morning tea time and I can go out for lunch with a full charge. It's fully charged again before I ride home. It's no rocket sled but it's quick enough to get away from the cars. Only bad point, hard to find good tyres in those funny sizes.
@gasdive Do your neighbors appreciate how quiet your bike is? Do people get that it's electric when they hear how quiet it is? I see you're from Australia.. you must have been one of the first to get one as they just launched the DS there in November.
@kirstendirksen I'm sure the neighbours would appriciate the Zero, but they're asleep (and they stay that way) when I leave for work. I got a DS from the first shipment. I picked it up on the 17th of november. Nearly everyone gets that it's electric. I get stopped and asked about it all the time. I've been blogging about it at zerods dot blogspot dot com.
I love that its a US company that employs US workers, at the vanguard of the electric motorcycle movement. But they need to have a street bike design because even the S and DS models look like dirtbike. But gotta love the lightweight and the torque! >:)
Nice line of bikes!

Sounds great, but I guess not good for interstate. Any hope for better batteries in the future?

Great for short commutes but i'd never give up my ZX10 for one. Only cost me $10 bucks to fill up anyway.

I would love one of the dualsport bikes.. I own a big KTM 950 adventure. This would be the perfect substitute for my short commute:)
