First of, my thanks to Alec at the englishelectricmotorco.com for lending me the the Zero SR and FXS. I take out the FXS on a 50 mile commute in London and discover it’s the…….. If you need to talk about electric motorcycles, then talk to the guys at The English Electric Motor Company, they are experts on this subject.

It looks pretty fun, my local dealer has a testbike like this, but the big problem is, even the 125cc version of this already costs 12-13000euros lol... That's crazy money, you do get some kind of discount since you can deduct it from your taxes etc in my country, but still if you compare that with a normal 125cc who costs just 4000euros on average, well that's very costy... Also I prefer real engine sound, mainly for safety too cuz with this thing no one hears you coming, a lot of idiots still on the road, both cars or pedestrians who aren't looking around and will only see you if they hear you...

Even still I'd never get on public transport for love the freedom and to be disease free. This bike is exactly what I'm looking for. Just booked a demo. Thanks RJ.

Johan, it's just logic dude... On a gas bike, you gotta wait for the throttle to open, fuel to be injected, fuel to burn, turbo to spin, and on and on, then you get your power. when you twist on an electric bike, all your power is there immediately. Now in a top speed battle, electric isn't there yet, but IN THE CITY where acceleration is key, you can't beat an electric.

UhHuh, electric motors aren't instant either. There's only so much current you can draw from the battery pack before it goes up in flames so that's one limit... You have to wait for the motor to start rotating before you can get useful power out of it. You can definitely feel it in the bike as you go from zero accelerator input to max. And besides that, electric motors have a sweet spot just like combustion engines have. But since there's no gearing, a lot of transmission losses are gone and since you don't have to shift ever you have constant acceleration all the way to top speed.

I'd recommend you to try custom mode with torque and top speed set to maximum and high / maximum engine brake. For commuting that helps a lot with the stop & go, so you don't have to hit the brakes that hard, but still got the full acceleration. :) I ride a 2015 FX myself in daily commute and love it! :)

The thing I missed most on the FXS was the interaction with people from revving to comunicate with other bikes or nice cars. But People did ask is that electric though. My other gripe was range since I do all highway. But its a great city bike if you dont get on the highway at all. Or if you have a consistent 9-5 and can charge at work. But even then you wont be able to ride out with your buddies after work and ride for 5 hours. All ya can really do it ride back home because it will take too long to charge back up. I love the bike but they need to get the batteries to be lighter, charge faster, last longer, and lastly come down on price.

The Harley Livewire solves these problems because it comes with built in DC charging which gives you 140km with 1 hour of charging, and 80% of that with 40 minutes of charging. Its a serious problem the range limitation, but driving for 2 hours then taking a 40minute break to charge up at a charge station isn't quite as bad, say for a 500km trip, just make 40 minute stops every 2 hours or so.

Not insanely loud as im a cb650 so naked and a honda, known to be quite but it adds that extra bit of growl to it and personally the best part is I can actually hear an exhaust note instead of just my engine revving. Also 100% makes the bike, carbon tip matches the bits of carbon trim the bike has near the fuel tank. Now just to get some better levers, mirrors and a windshield for travel.

No, it will become mandatory that all vehicles will have to give way to crossing pedestrians at any time. Especially now that vehicles will be so silent. They will also build away pedestrian crossings more and more or forbid vehicular traffic in many places and expand elsewhere. I also think London in particular needs a four wheeler ban so they can reduce lane widths down to motorcycle sizes and (edit: thusly, because 1 car = 4 motorcycles) quadruple capacity where traffic is still allowed to exist.

This filtering was amazing. I can't decide if it's amazing skill or utterly wreckless. Whipping through those gaps and around vehicles was fun to watch. Overtaking slow traffic on a single lane with oncoming traffic was a bit sketchy. But at no point did I see him in any danger. Unlike that scooter in the cycle lane cutting up that audi. My only concern is that none of these drivers heard you coming.

This bike seems great for someone like RJ who rides in a big congested city, but I don't think it'd work for me. I live 15 miles from the nearest town, so I'd be constantly worried about range while out and about for the day. They look fun as all hell with the instant torque, but I just couldn't live with one until the range is higher.

So wait a few years, that is the point. The tech is evolving so fast now, and the new cells from Tesla hold 50% more charge than the last generation. I think by 2025 we will have a viable 150+ mile per charge model. Atm the major benefits to stop start city riding is the instant torque and when you are still you use zero power plus at low speeds they are incredibly efficient.

This has a 150 mile range, so you would do 30 miles a day going to work and back each day, lets add another 10 just incase so that 40 miles, so you could go a full 3 days (with 30 miles left) without NEEDING to charge but of you got one you could just leave it on charge over night while you sleep and then you would always have charge.

Since this is an electric bike and has no engine displacement, it therefor doesn’t have a CC, which means it should be available to ride on all bike licenses
@upy790
@upy790 6 жыл бұрын
Ryan M. The licences are not technically based on CC, they are based on power. Something like 6kw (11hp) for a1, 35kw (49) for a2, and min 40kw (55hp) for A, (full licence), I think the zeros are 60hp. All approx.

RAW TOPSHOT Respect for other drivers, and pedestrians? Just because he hasn't been killed doesn't mean he hasn't left distress in his wake. Maybe you are conflating Good and Skillful. No doubt he is a capable technician... But that doesn't make him not-a-twat. We live in a world with other people. No one has the right behave in a manner which causes even One person to fear for their safety. How many drivers were dangerously startled by his sudden appearance in their periphery. I mean it is Fackn Toit isn't it. I'd love to have one. But now, we not only have to worry about them not seeing us...they can't even hear us.
