I ride a Sr/s 2022. I love that the bike is quiet and I love that there is no clutch. I can’t wait to break 300 miles on it!!! Sport mode all the way!!!!
I rode one yesterday for the first time. The acceleration is phenomenal in sport mode. The handling was great on the street. They could replace commuter motorcycles if the price were competitive.
I have an electric car (an e-Golf) which I love. Once you understand and accept the differences and limitations of e-vehicles they really are great. For starters they are pretty much maintenance free and have great performance. E-vehicles are also a very different driving/riding experience... I love my 750GS because I like hearing the engine and shifting through the gears - an experience I don’t get with my e-Golf. The e-Golf is perfect for daily driving to work/school or wherever. My GS is perfect for when I want to go somewhere to clear my mind...
140lbs of Torque, a proverbial torque monster. No, it is a torque monster. The TFT is super clean and the selection of quality components is on point. Well done. Ride safe and ride often. Peace.
Good review, but charging is easy, it’s a level 2 charger you can charge almost anywhere while you have lunch, get 50% charge up within 30 to 40 minutes. It’s easy
Perhaps they would put LED turn signals on the bike if they were able to. Some states have laws on the books that restrict the use of LED lights to not allow them to flash...This is a result of the custom scene when riders would extra lights all over their bikes.
Great review man! The SR/F is a great motorcycle, only thing I wasn't a fan of was its brakes. Yes it has the regeneration braking, it just didn't have much bite. Other than that it's a solid freaking bike!
@@CaliMotoTV yea man, your live streams are fun man, you and your wife seem very down to earth. It's great she rides as well, I love riding with my wife.
I haven't ridden one, but the electric motor must be very deceiving feeling much stronger than it is. The programming has to be leaning toward increasing range because based on 0-60 times which are in the high 3's and the quarter being in the high 11's, with the claimed 145 ft lbs it should be a lot quicker. Your Streetfighter would smoke it. My SF 848 would take it. This would be an interesting bike for $12K, not for what Zero is asking.
@@CaliMotoTV I think they are programmed to limit torque at low speeds to prevent wheelies. They are also electronically limited for top speed (or maybe that was the Energicas).
I got one, it's got less HP (110) but more torque: 190Nm. It is faster in reallife because at a light it always goes 3.5-4sec to 62 without sweat. No gear changes!! Just full power instantly.
Is this bike aviabel with a V8 Engin🤔never See this befor what happens with the harley E bike?good Video my friend but it is a littelbit strange where is your heavy duty truck😘
Bill, the horse power would be more impressive if you weren’t always riding that Streetfighter ! The 200 miles range is very good but a long term test would be interesting to see what the “Bill range” is !!🤪. Your neighbours would love this bike but I’m the same as you because I like engine noise and shifting gears. And not cheap! In the UK the green lobby either want the taxpayer to subsidise electric vehicles or tax the life out of internal combustion engines, that’s their solution. But otherwise a very nice bike and review 🏍🇬🇧
Tax payers have been subsidising oil for decades. From government investment into private oil companies, surveying, drilling, transport, infrastructure etc. for decades. Admittedly, the total lifetime cost is not there with electric motocycles yet, but even modest EVs are already more economical in the long term.
@@discotechwreck I guess most Western countries give tax breaks to companies who invest in R&D and equipment. But they don’t normally directly provide subsidies to the consumer to purchase the product, which here in the UK is up to £2,500 for an electric car, or £1,500 off the £28,995 for a Harley Davidson Live Wire. Two thirds of the £5.65 per gallon is tax, by contrast the tax on domestic electricity is 5 %. Electric vehicles pay zero annual road tax, last year my bike cost £93 and my car £155. Buy a car over £40,000 and you pay £500 road tax per year for the first five years except if the car is electric. When EV’s do take off, the UK Government will need to find other ways of raising revenue.
@@stewy62 In regards to the latter, almost certainly. It would be ignorant however to pretend that governments worlwide haven't been directly subsidising oil exploration and subsequently shareholder profits for decades. Even after infrastructure is shut down or dismantled, tax payers continue to line these companies pockets for doing so all whilst they have destroyed & polluted our environments.

@@CaliMotoTV Yes, they are fun, but a little raw, there are not enough affordable batteries at an affordable price and good motors would also like to be cheaper than they are today
@@pascalp2922 Kawasaki just announced the other day, that they won't be selling any internal combustion engine bikes into developed markets from 2035. So Kawasaki doesn't agree with your conclusions here. As we transition to a full EV future, do you truly think petrol stations are going to be kept open just to allow a minority such as motorcyclists can continue to fuel up their petrol bikes? Of course not.
Seems to me electric motorcycles are way overpriced. The zeros have less than 1/3rd the battery size of a tesla model 3 but cost more than half the price of a tesla model 3. Not to mention how much less materials go into making a motorcycle compared to a car, doesn't make sense.
Electric just isn't inspiring. It's sterile and unresponsive in a feedback manner. I could see a lightened, bagged-out, sculpted commuter model? But, it would need to be at least half the cost of this "bot".

Nice! Congrats 👌 be safe!

@@CaliMotoTV I'm sure with some time the prices will become competitive as battery powered vehicles become popular.

These bikes are so awesome and I want one....hope people buy these and they became more common so cost can come down.
Fingers crossed!
a worse version of this 5 years ago was 80 grand! with a worse battery! it HAS come down!

You keep tampons in ur purse
Good review, but charging is easy, it’s a level 2 charger you can charge almost anywhere while you have lunch, get 50% charge up within 30 to 40 minutes. It’s easy
How long do the batteries last and how do you upgrade them when the battery cells start dying ?
No idea, sorry.
Use and throw
Would love to have one, but the price is hard to swallow. Also, when the battery starts to lower, performance suffers
👌

Ηey Bill from London. Great review as always!
Should I get SRS or SRF
Up to your personal preference and budget

@@CaliMotoTV I hope to catch it, haha good good man, keep doing what you're doing!
Nice review. I have been considering one of these as daily driver/commuter bike. Looks like decision has been made.
I call it the remaining gage the “guess-o-meter” !
Do the turn signals work?
They’re kinda heavy huh?
You can knock on the first door and ask for charging. Can you do that with an ice motorbike? 😂
Can you hook up some kind of solar charging deal to charge it if you were, let’s say on like a camping ride or whatever???
Ha! Gotcha, yeah I wouldn’t know but that would be cool.
Beautiful bike

Totally agree with everything you said.

It is faster in reallife because at a light it always goes 3.5-4sec to 62 without sweat. No gear changes!! Just full power instantly.
And it got traction control with it 😉

We have v8 bikes in 🇺🇸!!! Look them up, they're not very maneuverable, or comfortable.

This bike is fast😲
Superb bike such as blast ,
Hello from Russia, interesting review, also interested in electric bikes
@@CaliMotoTV Yes, they are fun, but a little raw, there are not enough affordable batteries at an affordable price and good motors would also like to be cheaper than they are today
😭 sorry, but an electric motorcycle isn't my future
Im with you but the Punsch from the e motor is extrem😅
@@seblex4516 the electric motor is a drive of the future, but not for motorcycles.
The torque is awesome, but for me there is more to motorcycling.
@@pascalp2922 Sure I drive a ducati streetfighter 1098s 1198sp and a1098r I will never missed i would never buy thos e bikes in my livetime

It looks almost exactly like a BMW r1250r
🤣🤣
Cute. Most drivers can't see ya, now they can't hear ya. For that price tag, I'll get a Harley; or perhaps an MV Agusta
🙄
@@CaliMotoTV Good review though!
Cool bike but 7 to 10k compared to ICE competition.
And the Energica bikes for nearly the same price are way better
yo amo el SONIDO de un buen motor de 4 tiempo AUN NO ME CONVENCE EL TEMA DE LOS VEHÍCULOS ELÉCTRICOS ya se autos o las motos

Yeah we have the same issue with electric motorcycles
For a beginners bike 23 plus thoussnd is a ridiculous price. Nobody buys that price! Buy an electric rngine from tesla and make it hsppen.
145 miles per hour? That's plenty fast!
@@CaliMotoTV it is. Can't drive faster than 100 most places. Maybe the autobahn in Germany.
Mint Green color is awful !!!
Looks like a bad mix of premium and cheap.
